Notes & Reviews

Angelos

posted 15 Mar. 2013

Angelos gave this whisky 77 points

Color

Amontillado sherry

Nose

Intense, european oak, sherry... quite astonishing for 10 years, fruity

Taste

creamy and spicy, again sherry, sweet, oak.... but metallic note!

Finish

Short finish, spice remains, sherry vanishs

Comments

Edradour has very little stills.... thats probably the reasons for the quite astonishing intensity of this 10 years old

Color

Burnished

Nose

Pretty odd and unusual. Springtime orchard, blossoming cherry-tree, sour grapes, grass-plot, green apples, daisy, yeast, sultanas, raisins, honey, clay, air freshener, marshmallow, lemon candy, dandelion, earth floor, old book's pages, crème caramel.

Taste

Prickling, sulphury, medium-bodied. Creamy, mineral, charcoal, honey, barley sugar candy, roasted peanuts, dry white wine, citrus, vinegar, wax, treacle, varnish, whitewash, oak barrel, cardboard packaging?, zest, tea leaves.

Finish

Medium to long. Fierce, stark, spicy, citrussy, acerbic, salty, vegetal. Sour apple, fennel, oil, sage, horseradish, cloves, ground pepper, ginger, liquorice, green apricots, grapefruit, Fanta orange, lemon rind, tangerines, eau de Cologne, charred wood, chicory, molasses.

Comments

Water is obligatory! It gets much softer, mellower and, what the heck, much better then. Set free some marmalade, cherries, confiture, plum jelly, nutmeg, walnuts, bitter wood, flan, dark chocolate, cocoa. H'm, certainly, it deserves to add some water.

Opinions are like assholes - everybody's got one.

An inusual light and floreal highlander. Fascinated by the uniìusual scents but disappointed by the flavour too light and simply for a highland. Too expensive for his medium quality.

Color

Amber

Nose

Honey and some spice. More herby than spicy this one. Don't get much more than that on the nose. Some fruit in the background.

Taste

Big on honey! Warming, but not too much. Still slightly herby. Malt now as well. A very thick whisky.

Finish

A herby aftertaste with some lingering honey and malt.

Comments

Adequate, but nothing more than that. I would never refuse this dram but I would also not go out of my way to get it.

Soft and comfortable, you could drink it for hours. Best choice to drink a glass (or more) with friends without having to discuss to much over this bottling. This is a classic for me, so I imagine a good standard of whiskey. Soft and pleasant to drink. Honey with some herbs and a hint of smoke on the palate with a medium finish.

Color

Pale gold

Nose

Edradour,on adore ou on déteste.moi j'adore, car son odeur qui se reconnait entre toutes,me ramène à mon enfance.

nez très particulier, mélange de savon de sherry de pain d'épices, de poivre blanc et de caoutchouc

Taste

en bouche, c'est le savon au lait qui prédomine avec une attaque métallique et toujours la présence de plastique qui peut déplaire

Finish

la finale est à la fois courte et longue,courte car métallique et longue car elle persiste.ne pas oublier de l'aérer quelques minutes afin que les fragrance s'expriment.

Comments

le 10 ans est loin d'être le meilleur d'Erdadour mais cette distillerie reste une de mes préférées car vraiment atypique.

Color

Jonquiripe corn

Nose

Meadowland flowers, sweetness, light tangerine, washing formula, barley, hay, a little bit of nuts and honey.

Taste

Very flat, it starts with sweetness, but it doesn't last long. There is a lot of dryness, possibly some sourness, bitterness and very unpleasant impression.

Finish

Very short and rubbish.

Not one of the best, but certainly not one of the worst.

uuh. one of the worst whiskies I ever had. plastic, fake fruit esther & something I couldn't place my finger on (paper/cardboard...?). The only whisky related drinks I found more unpleaseant were some new spirits, and hey, they don't pretend to be whiskies.

Remember - whisky scores and impressions are highly subjective and situational by nature - so don't go and buy whisky according to someone else's taste...
