Single Malt
Scotland
12 Oct 1999
24 May 2017
The Edradour distillery is well known for finishing their Highland single malts in wine casks - and they get wonderfully specific with it sometimes. For example, this is a 17 year old expression, distilled in October 1999 and finished in a trio of Bordeaux hogsheads for 46 months before being bottled at cask strength in May 2017! A release of 911 bottles.
Rich notes of stewed red berries and dark chocolate, with underlying menthol and parsley.
Oak-y spiciness begins to take shape on the palate with plenty of cinnamon, pink pepeprcorn and fresh cedar. Remains deliciously jammy with raspberries and cranberries.
Lasting sweetness of red liquorice.
