Edradour is one of Scotland's smallest distilleries and at the heart of the range, this 10 year old Eastern Highlander is a rather unique single malt, a decidedly rum-like dram with a thick mouthfeel. The distillery’s methods of production remain virtually unchanged in the last 150 years, and we can see why. If it ain’t broke and all that. This single malt’s decade of ageing was spent in a combination of oloroso sherry and bourbon casks.
Medium, great complexity. Thoroughly fruity, sherry, sweetness, alluring vanilla.
Cloying, seductive murkiness. Rum, barley, toasted almonds.
Spiced fruitcake with crème anglaise.
Found this particular delight at the Bath Tasting Rooms. On the advice of the barman, I tried it. Bought a bottle and have done so several times since. I love it.
This scotch has character. I liken it to the Macallan 12 Year Sherry Oak: very sweet, very sherry-forward. As to the gents who commented on a 'soap' taste that sounds like bollocks to me. This is a high quality dram and you'll love it if you're a fan of the sherry genre, or as one bloke mentioned below, a nice change of pace if youre a peat fan. 5 stars from David in Nashville, TN, USA.
This is a very nice whisky. Smooth, fruity, very drinkable. As for those reviewers who say this tastes like soap, please post exactly which soap you are using. I believe I'll try it.
Went over to Spec's in Montgomery and was recommended, but its quite awful. So many better scotch's to choose from...
Had this In a bar and loved it. Bought a bottle at a liquor store on the way home. I might as well have bought a bar of soap because that's what I got. Instead it was in a $55 bottle.
