The Edradour 2012 Sauternes Cask Matured is a distinguished single malt whisky from the intimate Edradour distillery in the Scottish Highlands. Distilled in 2012 and carefully aged for 11 years in 8 first-fill Sauternes hogsheads (#175, 176, 177, 178, 181, 182, 190, and 192), this exceptional whisky was bottled in May 2023. This limited release of 2,695 bottles is non-chill filtered, retains its natural color, and is bottled at a robust 48.2% ABV.
This whisky boasts luscious flavors imparted from the ex-Bordeaux sweet wine casks, with prominent notes of honeycomb, sweet orange, and apricot. The nose is filled with inviting aromas of dried apricot, honeysuckle, butterscotch, and oak, while the palate delivers a rich tapestry of biscuit, coconut blossom sugar, and candied ginger. The Sauternes cask finishing enhances the whisky, adding a sweet, dried fruit dimension that beautifully complements the base spirit.
On the palate, discover complex layers of green apple, strawberry, honey, and spice, interwoven with a touch of mineral. The finish reveals intricate notes of Merlot, malt, oak, and vanilla, leaving a lasting impression. This creamy 11-year-old single malt is a captivating dram, full of juicy fruit, sweet butterscotch, and peppery spice, reflecting the extraordinary depth and complexity of the Sauternes wine cask.
