What Gary Says
Nose: Sherry BOMB, raisins, dates, cherries, fudge, molasses, balsamic, cinnamon, sulfur, spent matches and charred oak.
Palate: Rich, savory oak, dark fruit notes with raisins, plums, dates, orange, brown sugar, hone and chocolate fudge.
Finish: Long, drying with chocolate, smoke and oak.
Comments: This is REALLY DARK in the glass, somewhere between Coca Cola and coffee. Clouds up beautifully with a bit of water. I haven’t had much experience with Edradour previously but this is just outstanding! A bit of water tamps some of that sulfury note and thickens up the mouthfeel even more. If you don’t like that sulfury note (which honestly, if someone had asked me before I’d have said I’m not particularly a fan of that), try it anyways. There’s so much more going on. This is an intense dram, and my only regret is not buying a bottle (but this is going on my ‘auction watch list’).
