Edradour Straight From The Cask - Chateau Neuf Du Pape Finish Whisky 11 Year Old · 1997 Vintage

Colour

Luminous amber-gold with copper-bronze depth and a delicate ruby edge.

Nose

Vinous and lush, this nose opens with red fruit liqueur, cherry glaze, and plum, with prune sweetness. Orange zest sparks cacao nibs and espresso, while warm clove and cinnamon linger. Polished oak and vanilla provide structure, and the Châteauneuf-du-Pape finish drapes the aroma in wine-rich leather, tobacco, and subtle nuttiness, inviting a luxurious, full-bodied inhalation.

Palate

Opulent and full-bodied, this 58% dram coats the palate with warm velvet richness. Red-fruit depth from the Chateau Neuf du Pape finish—ripe cherry, plum and cassis—meets dark chocolate, espresso, and toasted oak. Spices—pepper, cinnamon—rise mid-palate, with leather and tobacco adding depth. The finish is long and refined, fading from fruit into warm oak and a lasting wine-tannin grip.

Finish

Long, opulent finish that lingers with dark cherry and plum from the Chateau Neuf Du Pape cask, wrapped in cacao, vanilla, and spice. Subtle tannic grip weaves through the sweetness, with a warm, peppery edge that slowly fades to toasted oak and lingering fruit.
