- Description
- This 12-year-old Edradour (2012–2025) gains delicate fruit complexity and soft tannins from Michael Eppan's Pinot Noir casks, softening the distillery's typically rich, fruity profile into something more elegant and wine-forward. The marriage of Highland malt richness with Pinot's subtle cherry and berry notes creates a balanced, sophisticated whisky. Bottled at 48.2% ABV unchill-filtered in just 1,422 bottles, it appeals to those who appreciate how fine wine finishes can enhance rather than mask single malt character.
