The nose leans straight into depth and sweet fruit: dates, figs and raisins, layered with dark syrup, cocoa and gentle spice reminiscent of cinnamon and clove. On the palate, classic PX richness unfolds—dried fruit, chocolate truffle and honey—lifted by a hint of orange peel and a nuttier edge that can recall almond or hazelnut. Oak plays a structural role rather than adding bitterness, giving a poised grip toward the end. The finish is long and warming, leaving lingering sweet fruit, cocoa and a lightly spiced oak note.
This is a bottle for anyone who loves sherry-matured whisky with real depth and old-school character: full, concentrated, and built for slow sipping. Try it neat first, then add a few drops of water to open up the citrus and bring more nuance to the fruit.
About the producer: Edradour Distillery
Edradour is one of Scotland’s most distinctive distilleries, often described as among the smallest traditional operations. Founded in 1825, it sits near Pitlochry in Perthshire, in the Highlands. Its small-scale, traditional style is often reflected in the whisky: a rich, oily mouthfeel, pronounced cask influence, and a classic malty core.
The distillery has been owned by Signatory Vintage since 2002, which helps explain the steady flow of varied releases with clearly defined cask profiles. Alongside Edradour, the site also produces Ballechin, the distillery’s heavily peated range, for those who want the same craft feel with a bold peat-and-smoke dimension.
