- Description
- This Edradour was finished for 12 years in Italian Barbaresco wine casks, a pairing that melds the Highland distillery's characteristic orchard fruit and honeyed texture with the Nebbiolo grape's herbal and red fruit complexity. Bottled in 2023 at 48.2% ABV without chilling or colouring, the wine cask influence is prominent without dominating the base spirit. A creative and unusual cask choice, suited to those exploring how wine finishes shape Highland character.
