Edradour 10 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
8 Much more sherried than the previous 10 Years Old distillery bottling. The back-label still lifts (unattributed) phrases from my tasting notes for that edition. The new version is very elegant, but th...
Ballechin Edradour Burgundy matured
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
7 It is young and showing great promise. Keep watching this with interest.
Dougie Macleans Caledonia Selection
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
7 A tired sherry cask? Or a tyred one? A rubbery profile which does not release much, apart from dour sulphury notes. Water does not help.
Signatory Edradour 1976
Single Malt - Scotland - 53.10%
7 Still a hint of the typical creaminess. Although its flavours are on the light side, Edradour is quite rich in body. It stands up well to age, but this is not the best '76 I have tasted.
Signatory Edradour Burgundy Finish
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.00%
6 Not to my taste. Only useful as a weapon in hand-to-hand combat.
Signatory Straight from the Cask Edradour 11 Years Old, Madeira Finish
Single Malt - Scotland - 59.60%
7 Bags of cask character, and fine if you find finishes fun.
