PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Edradour 12 Year Old is a charming, richly flavored Highland single malt with a distinctly old-world character. Full-bodied, sherried, and wonderfully aromatic, it delivers layers of dried fruit, warm spice, malt sweetness, and soft oak. This small-scale, hand-crafted whisky feels both traditional and expressive — a perfect choice for those who appreciate depth and classic Highland richness.
Edradour is one of Scotland’s smallest traditional distilleries, tucked into the hills of Pitlochry in the Highland region. Known for artisanal production methods, the distillery operates with old-fashioned equipment, small stills, and hands-on processes that yield robust, flavorful spirit.
The 12 Year Old expression is crafted from:
Malt whisky aged in a combination of ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks
A finishing period in Oloroso sherry wood, which deepens fruitiness and adds aromatic spice
Slow, traditional distillation producing spirit with notable richness and weight
This careful blending and finishing process gives the whisky its signature combination of malt-forward depth, sherried sweetness, and warm, comforting complexity.
Professional tasters and whisky writers consistently praise Edradour 12 for:
Its “classic sherry-led Highland profile” with rich fruit, spice, and malt warmth.
A viscous, full-bodied palate unusual for such a small distillery’s output.
Hand-crafted charm, often noted as a standout for drinkers seeking flavor over flashiness.
Strong value for a whisky with genuine sherry character and long, expressive finish.
Reviewers often describe it as an excellent example of Highland richness — approachable, flavorful, and deeply satisfying.
Nose:
Stewed raisins, dried cherry, honeyed malt, and warm spice. Notes of cocoa, toasted almond, vanilla, and faint citrus zest lift the richness. A gentle sherry roundness settles in the background.
Palate:
Full and rich with flavors of dark fruit, caramel, toffee, and malt loaf. Sherry influence brings fig, baked apple, and clove, supported by warm oak, cocoa powder, and a touch of candied orange. The texture is creamy and mouth-coating.
Finish:
Long, warming, and softly spiced. Lingering notes of dried fruit, sweet malt, polished oak, and soft sherry warmth fade with elegant smoothness.
