Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Deep mahogany-red with dark amber rim; very dark, thick viscous legs — sherry butt has transformed the spirit
Nose
Profound sherry richness — dark fruit compote (fig, date, prune), dark chocolate, espresso, Christmas pudding, walnut, leather, tobacco, and old polished wood. Extraordinarily complex with total spirit-cask integration
Palate
Full and opulent. Dark fruit cascade — fig, date, prune, raisin. Dark chocolate, espresso, fruitcake, marzipan, black walnut, deep sherry warmth. Leather, tobacco, aged oak provide structure. Water reveals orange blossom honey and stewed apple. One of the most complex Edradour expressions
Finish
Very long finish. Dark fruit and chocolate persist for minutes. Espresso bitterness, sherry warmth, leather, aged oak. The finish evolves from sweet fruit through savoury complexity to a final warm embrace
