Review:
Edradour hails from Pitlochry in the Southern Highlands and was established in 1825 by a cooperative of farmers and is one of the smallest distilleries in Scotland. On the bottle it states “…makes as much whiskey in a year that most distilleries make in a week.”. The name is Scottish Gaelic, “Eadar Dha Dhobhar” and means “between two rivers”.
The scotch is bottled at 43% abv, the mash bill is 100% malted barley, natural colored, and aged in Oloroso Sherry and bourbon casks.
I have seen this scotch before online and occasionally in the store, but this was my first purchase. I found it to be smooth and nice with a touch of sweetness. The flavor profile is very nice. The price is very fair for a 10-year-old scotch and it was a gamble that paid off. I will look forward to trying another expression from Edradour.
More of a summer scotch with the sweetness but you could drink it in any season neat or on the rocks. It would also make a good gift to a scotch drinker.
Priced around $60 and well worth the money if you like the flavor profile.
