Edradour 21 Years 1999\/2021 Bordeaux Cask Finish is an unusually mature and expressive Edradour, where the distillery\u2019s dense, malty \u201cold school\u201d style meets a wine-cask finish that leaves a clear imprint on the aromas. Distilled in 1999 and bottled in 2021 after 21 years of maturation, it\u2019s released at natural cask strength of around 55.7% ABV. The flavour architecture is typical for this kind of release: a long spell in ex-bourbon hogsheads (building Edradour\u2019s creamy, oily core), followed by an extended finish in Bordeaux wine casks, adding red fruit, freshness, and a more vinous depth.<\/p>\n
On the nose you\u2019ll often find a striking mix of orange peel and caramelised sugar, followed by red berries (think redcurrant\/blackberry), a soft buttery note, and a slightly \u201ccakey\u201d malty warmth. The Bordeaux casks bring a fruity, almost jammy energy, without turning perfumed\u2014especially with a little air in the glass.<\/p>\n
The palate is full and concentrated: citrus oils and sweet malt up front, then a wave of red fruit and darker fruit tones, held together by a spicy oak thread that frames the whole profile. Edradour\u2019s oily texture helps the wine-cask notes feel integrated rather than \u201cpainted on\u201d, while the strength delivers a long flavour journey rather than mere heat.<\/p>\n
The finish is long and warming with brown sugar\/toffee, black pepper and a gentle spice that can lean toward cinnamon, as the red fruit lingers alongside a dry, elegant oak note.<\/p>\n
Serving tip:<\/strong> Try it neat first to capture the full depth. Then add a few drops of water\u2014this often opens the red-berry notes, rounds the oak, and makes the oily malty core even clearer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":113612,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"rs_blank_template":"","rs_page_bg_color":"","slide_template_v7":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[983,4650,984],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-113605","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-avec-en","7":"product_cat-single-malt-en","8":"product_cat-whisky-en","9":"pa_champagne-type-single-cask-en","10":"pa_land-scotland","11":"pa_procent-55-7","12":"pa_producent-edradour-en","13":"pa_region-highland-en","14":"pa_traefad-bordeaux-red-wine-en","15":"pa_vintage-1999-en","16":"pa_volume-70-en-2","18":"first","19":"instock","20":"taxable","21":"shipping-taxable","22":"purchasable","23":"product-type-simple"},"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":1,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/113605","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/113612"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=113605"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=113605"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=113605"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=113605"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
