Edradour 10 Year Old

The Edradour distillery has a huge amount of distillery bottlings – maybe the most diverse range of Whiskies in the world. The Whiskies are sorted by series: The Classic Range, The Cask Strength Series, The Wine Finishes, The Wine Matured. They even have a peated range of Whiskies. These are called Ballechin.

The distillery character could best be described as full and intense. A very typical Highland Single Malt with very small pot stills. Yet the owner Andrew Symington has the hobby to mature and finish his Whisky in various different casks from all over Europe. This ranges from Burgundy and Sauternes, to Port and Pedro Ximenez. This results not only in very diverse range of Whiskies, but the individual Whisky is also very diverse and complex when nosed and tasted.

The owner of the distillery, Andrew Symington, is also the owner of the independent bottling company Signatory Vintage. This means all of the bottling is done at Signatory and there are a lot of Signatory releases of Edradour.

Edradour has also a pretty famous cream Liqueur with Edradour Whisky in it. This is one of the most exciting and intense Liqueurs there is on the market. The Highland Scotch gives the cream mixture just the right kick.

There is no known blend that includes the Edradour Malt.

The Production
Edradour is often described as the smallest Whisky distillery there is in Scotland. There are a few smaller distilleries in Scotland. The output of the two pot stills is only about 100,000 litres per year.

The water comes from Ben Vrackie Springs. The distillery lies directly at the small burn Edradour. A few of the buildings are on the other side of the water and can only be reached via a bridge.
