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

Colour

Rich amber-gold with honeyed, sunlit depth and coppery undertones.

Nose

Opulent and sun-kissed, the nose blooms with honeyed apricot and peach, drenched in Sauternes sweetness. Layers of orange blossom, vanilla bean and almond paste mingle with waxy oak, while subtle spice and dried fruit hints—marmalade, nectarine—add depth, finishing with a lift of citrus zest.

Palate

Opulent and full-bodied, the palate opens with honeyed apricot, marmalade and dried fruit, lifted by citrus zest. Rich vanilla, toffee and oak spice weave through a creamy, waxy texture, enhanced by a touch of botrytis sweetness from the Sauternes finish. White pepper lends a gentle bite, and the finish is long, warm and decadently fruity.

Finish

The Sauternes cask lingers with a syrupy sweetness that coats the palate in apricot and baked peach, with a whisper of citrus zest and vanilla. Rich spice threads through soft oak, leaving a long, warm, honeyed fade that persists with elegant fruit and refined complexity.
