A single cask Edradour single malt Scotch whisky, presented in some very handsome Ibisco decanters. It was distilled in November 2000, matured in cask #3143 and bottled in March 2015 with an outturn of 666 bottles (ooh, spooky). It was bottled at 14 years old and at 58.1% ABV.
I'm almost offended someone would mix this with a cheaper Scotch. This is a very unqiue Scotch from this distillery. Best with a drop of water to release all the smells. I'd say this is the best scotch Edradour has out at the moment but this distillery never surprises or disappoints me.
Now I like this whiskey for every reason that the previous reviewer disliked it. Rich, full bodied, thick and creamy all the attributes that to me are found in a top quality whisky! I enjoy a Grouse or Bells while watching TV, however, if I want a drink to savour it has to be Glen Farclas, Highland Park and now Edradour. Which in conclusion it's all down to individual taste.

OK: You pay extra for the heavy glass bottle (which is nothing special) - surely it's the contents that matter? The Whisky is massively over sherried, yet smells of rum! Taste is full-on christmas cake + spices. This is whisky taken to an extreme regarding barrel influence, so that it barely resembles a classic malt. In the end I used it to blend with some cheaper whisky to add a bit of oomph. Not one I would buy again.
