Production Method

• Distillation process: Double distilled in Edradour’s traditional copper pot stills, among the smallest in Scotland, allowing for greater copper contact and a more refined spirit

• Special techniques: Non-chill filtered and bottled at natural cask strength to preserve maximum flavor complexity and authentic character

Tasting Notes

• Palate: Opulent and full-bodied with intense sherry influence. Concentrated notes of fig jam, sticky dates, dark honey, and marzipan complemented by warming baking spices, tobacco leaf, and coffee grounds
• Finish: Exceptionally long and warming with lingering notes of dried fruits, dark chocolate, oak spice, and a wonderful nutty dryness that slowly fades

Recommended Serving

• Serving temperature: Room temperature (16-18°C)
• Glass recommendation: Tulip-shaped whisky glass or Glencairn to concentrate the complex aromas
