Edradour Straight From The Cask - Moscatel Finish Whisky 11 Year Old · 1997 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery warmth and a subtle ruby-red edge.

Nose

Perfumed Muscat dominates, with lush grape, peach and apricot weaving through orange blossom and honey. Subtle vanilla and almond from the oak emerge, while a delicate spice glides in the background, delivering sun-warmed sweetness that hints at the Moscatel finish.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied palate with a luscious Moscatel sweetness. Ripe apricot, sultana and orange zest glide through honeyed citrus, toasted almond and warming spice. The 58.3% ABV keeps it bright and vigorous, while oak and a touch of cacao give backbone. A long, velvety finish lingers with fruit-forward warmth and a touch of sherry-cask richness.

Finish

Opulent and long, the Moscatel finish coats the palate with honeyed grape, orange zest and apricot, threaded with toasted almond and vanilla spice. A vinous sweetness lingers, slowly yielding to warm oak and a refined, softly drying end that invites the next sip.
