Edradour 10 Year Old is a truly unique Highland single malt, crafted by one of Scotland’s smallest traditional distilleries. With a team of just three men, Edradour continues to produce whisky in an almost entirely handmade fashion, preserving a rich heritage of small-batch distillation. This miniature 20cl bottle is the perfect way to experience the character and complexity that make Edradour stand out.
Matured in a combination of ex-sherry casks, this single malt whisky is bursting with sweet and indulgent flavors. On the nose, rich aromas of plump sultanas and freshly baked Christmas cake fill the glass, accompanied by hints of aromatic pipe tobacco and a touch of liquorice. These decadent notes give way to a full-bodied palate, where thick, syrupy treacle, molasses, and melting fruit and nut chocolate create an almost rum-like sweetness.
Edradour’s small copper stills and traditional distillation methods result in an exceptionally rich and full mouthfeel—smooth, yet incredibly complex for its 10-year aging period. As the whisky develops on the tongue, the sweetness evolves into a drying finish, where the initial fruitcake richness transforms into subtle herbal notes, reminiscent of cough syrup and warming spices.
Perfect for those who appreciate a sherried Highland malt with deep, dessert-like characteristics, Edradour 10 Year Old is a whisky that delivers layers of flavour in every sip. This 20cl bottle is an excellent introduction to one of Scotland’s most unique distilleries, offering a glimpse into the world of handcrafted whisky with an old-world charm.
Plump, juicy sultanas in moist, freshly-baked Christmas cake cry out from the glass, with a little aromatic pipe tobacco and liquorice. The thickness of the mouthfeel says treacle, molasses, melting fruit and nut: it is almost cloying, perhaps a little soapy, approaching rum in flavour
