This is Edradour Aged 12 Years Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, a 48.2% ABV Highland single malt that captures the essence of Scotland's most intimate whisky-making tradition, matured in precious Sauternes wine casks that impart layers of honeyed fruit and golden complexity to this handcrafted small-batch expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1825, Edradour has earned its reputation as \"Scotland's Little Gem,\" operating with the same Victorian-era equipment and time-honored methods that make it the country's smallest traditional distillery. Nestled in the Perthshire Highlands near Pitlochry, this family-scale operation produces whisky the way it was meant to be made — by hand, in small batches, with patience and reverence for tradition. The distillery's intimate size allows for meticulous attention to every cask, creating whiskies that reflect both the Highland terroir and the distinctive influence of carefully selected barrel finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Golden honey, dried apricots, vanilla custard, toasted almonds, delicate floral notes from the Sauternes influence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich fruit cake, candied orange peel, butterscotch, warm baking spices, subtle wine tannins, creamy mouthfeel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, with lingering sweet wine notes, gentle oak, and a whisper of Highland peat smoke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpirit Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHighland Single Malt Scotch Whisky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eABV\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48.2% (96.4 proof)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e700ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAge Statement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 Years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistillery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEdradour Distillery Co.

You'll experience rich honey and dried fruit on the nose, followed by flavors of fruit cake, butterscotch, and warm spices, with the wine casks adding elegant tannins and lingering sweet wine notes on the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Edradour good for cocktails or should I drink it neat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Highland single malt is best appreciated neat or with a few drops of Highland spring water to open up its complex Sauternes cask influences. At 48.2% ABV and with such distinctive wine cask characteristics, mixing would mask the careful craftsmanship and unique flavor profile that makes Edradour special.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes Edradour different from other Highland whiskies?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdradour operates as Scotland's smallest traditional distillery, producing whisky using Victorian-era equipment and methods unchanged since 1825. This intimate scale allows for exceptional attention to cask selection and small-batch production, while the Sauternes cask maturation adds a distinctive sweet wine influence rarely found in Highland single malts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I serve Edradour 12 Year Highland Single Malt?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe neat in a Glencairn glass or traditional tumbler at room temperature, allowing the whisky to breathe for a few minutes. A splash of room-temperature water can help open up the complex Sauternes cask flavors, but avoid ice which would close down the delicate fruit and honey notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat whiskies are similar to Edradour?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor similar Highland character, consider Aberfeldy or Blair Athol, though Edradour's small-batch production and Sauternes cask influence make it quite unique. If you enjoy wine-finished whiskies, explore other Sauternes-matured expressions or try dessert wine cask finished single malts from distilleries like Glenmorangie or Balvenie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou must be 21 years of age or older to purchase this product.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edradour","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43328823459914,"sku":"EA12YHSMSW","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/6095\/7258\/files\/front_d30d5054-b884-4bae-ba7d-2179e3065278.jpg?v=1771613979"}],"url":"https:\/\/theoldrickhouse.com\/collections\/edradour.oembed","provider":"The Old Rickhouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
