This is it then, my review of one of my most expensive purchases ever. Is it worth the effort and the money? These kinds of prices are only for whisky freaks. But the taste… With my first tasting glass I found it very sweet and therefore quite subtle. Wine often tends to dominate a whisky. Now that the whisky has had time to settle, attempt two. Sweet, wine, but powerfully strong through the alcohol and what lies beneath the wine. After a good half hour in the glass and a few drops of water, the Edradour comes through the wine. An incredible whisky. From the start, taste and aroma shoot beyond the proper boundaries, but always there is the sweet Amarone that remains gently present, increasingly at the margins. And the old Edradour is fantastic, the collaboration is brilliant and playful. This whisky keeps changing. A spectacular adventure. Unconventional, in your face and subtly poetic at the same time. Currently my top pick, alongside Benriach 25.
