Edradour Caledonia, 12 Year Old is a special cask release, selected by Songwriter Dougie Maclean as part of the Homecoming celebrations and named it after his most famous song, Caledonia. This expression was initially maturated in Bourbon casks followed by an Oloroso Sherry Finish of 4-5 years. The result is a sherried whisky with depth and complexity.
5cl at 46% alc./vol. Note; This is a miniature.
TASTING NOTES
APPEARANCE
Brown sherry
NOSE
Sultanas and figs balanced with honey
TASTE
Liquid Christmas cake, toasted almonds and just a hint of orange spice. Just a little water opens up the depth and complexity as the fruitiness and Oloroso sherried wood comes to the fore. The result of traditional, time tested distillation processes rolls over the tongue like syrup.
FINISH
Gently warming, spicy and dry from a time long forgotten
