Edradour 10 Year Old - Rapid Review



On a recent trip to Edinburgh I came across this divine whiskey, marketed as ‘Scotland’s Little Gem’.

Famed as being distilled in Scotland’s smallest distillery since 1825. Aged in a combination of Oloroso Sherry and Bourbon casks.

This single malt has quite a kick to it. This is not a smooth whisky.

I found it has a bit of a sharp though sugary aftertaste that is instantly warming. Bit of a singe on the nostrils.

There is a smidgen of caramel here and it’s refreshingly sharp, whilst also sweet. It’s like a sharp intake of breath on a crisp and frosty November morning.

There’s also hints of liquorice and coffee in there for those patient enough to sniff it out.

Facts
Chill-filtered at 40% ABV.
Where: Perthshire, Scotland
Sizes available: 70cl, 20cl & 5cl
