- Description
- Edradour's 12-year-old malt, finished in first-fill Cabernet Sauvignon casks from South Tyrol's St. Michael-Eppan winery, marries Highland richness with wine-driven complexity. Bottled at 48.2% ABV, it balances the distillery's malty core with deep red fruit and tannic structure from the wine cask finish. A bold exploration of cask maturation that appeals to those seeking fruit-forward Highland character with serious depth.
