So, its been a while, and I thought I should chime in on a new whisky for the cooler months before the summer inferno. At this years Whisky-a-Go-Go, the new whisky I brought home was an addition to the small Edradour line. I have bought 3 or 4 bottles of their 10 yr. Highland Single over the years.
This year I picked up a bottle of their Port Cask Matured. This whisky spends its ENTIRE life in a Port cask, thus the ruby color. The nose is incredible, delicate and complex, with overlapping hints of thorny berries ( raspberry, black, marion etc) a touch of currant and a little spice. Somehow in all this the taste still carries all these notes plus a hint of cream without loosing its crispness. A lengthy finish and a classy dram of whisky.
At $70-75 US this is a keeper.
My research suggests multiple batches, only the 3rd has received less praise.
The batch number is printed on the front label.
Cheers
