Edradour 10 review #67 with The Whiskey Novice

- Another week and another new series. This time I'm looking at some 10yr old, Scottish single malts. But not just your everyday, off the shelf 10yr old single malts. These ones require a little more thought.
Hopefully this will be explained as the series unfurls.
Enjoy.

Cheers.
A cracking dram. The one that got me into malt whisky . I’ve found it consistently excellent over the years. Edradour have always used good casks. I’m at the moment drinking Edradour Caledonia.... that’s fantastic. Great review, Slainte mhath 🥃🥃🥃
Cheers. Yeah that 12 is stunning. There will be a review of it at some point.
Slàinte.
Mmmmmmm Edradour. Nice one Jim. Yes, it does keep on giving and boy does that Straight From The Cask just rock!! Cheers.
Cheers Al. And thanks again for introducing me.
New Subscriber here. Happy to follow another quality reviewer!
Cheers.
@@WhiskeyNovice I was just having Glenmorangie 10 for the first time. Listening to your glenmorangie review alongside. I noticed that it reminded me somewhat of Paddy Irish. Similar taste, at least upon first opening bottle. Second day it was much lighter in taste. Could just be me. Tastes do vary depending on the day.
@@SaltyCuban yeah there is a similar sweetness there from memory.
Aye, Jim ... whisky, tobacco, and cuisine. Divine. Hope you and yours are all in good nick! Cheers.
Not bad mate 😉 cheers.
First distillery I visited. Enjoyed both the tour and the dram.
Decent review, Jim. Thanks.
Thanks Frank. Yeah should've been there this year myself but....
@@WhiskeyNovice Let's try to meet there next year.
@@peathead4450 🙏
This was one of my gateway whiskys
Wow, even at 40%, there's quite a lot going on here to be a gateway. I'd be expecting big things after this. Cheers Jason.
Will love this new series. Generally 10 year old whiskies are at a good price point. As you say, Big Al raves about the Edradour. The 10 is now on the 'want' list. Cheers, Jim! :)
Cheers Richard. Yeah they make some damn fine stuff. I've really gotta try to get my hands on the Signatory 10 though. It seems to be the one everyone raves about.
I just ordered a bottle of this and it’s supposed to be in tomorrow. Funny timing.
I haven’t had the 10 year since I was in Scotland at the distillery... So I’m pretty excited!
Cheers Jim!
Cheers David. You're in for a treat mate.
Great Review! Never heard of the straight from the cask version wonder how it varies to the Signatory unchilled filtered version.
Haven't had the Signatory version Jeff so not sure. Everyone seems to love it though so I must try to get me hands on one. Cheers.
I bought two bottles of Ballechin 13 Port Straight From The cask (Edradours Peated whisky).
I loved it so much that I’ve left one in the cupboard... 3 years in now... waiting to open and share with friends!
Cheers Jeff!
@@WhiskeyNovice, if you come across the Ballechin 13 Port SFTC, I highly recommend it!One of the most enjoyable whiskies I’ve ever tried.
I’ve heard the sherry 13 SFTC is good too...
@@AmericanScotchDoctor cheers David. Will look out for that. Thanks buddy.
Beautiful. So many great notes and like you said, what a natural colour! wow. I have not had it yet. It's priced at 18 year old level in my market, which makes it tough. Still, I should try it. Thanks again for sharing! Cheers!
Cheers Jon. Yeah it really is a bit pricey. Just seems to be the way with these smaller distilleries.
If the 12 is anyway close in price to the 10 (it's not much more expensive here) I would pick it up instead. Really, really good whisky.
Thanks buddy.
@@WhiskeyNovice Thanks for the recommendation!
I tried this on at the distillery 2018 but if I hade to choose, the 12y is one of my favorite whiskies. Cheers 😁👍🥃
Cheers Fredrik. Yeah that 12 is outstanding.
This is one distillery I have yet to try. I've heard mixed opinions, but suppose it is like Campbelltown-- some love it and some don't. Excellent review and I look forward to the rest of the series. BTW, you were brilliant on Erik's live.
Cheers Bud. Yeah, as I hinted at in the review...this can be an aquired taste and requires a little acclimation but, definately worth a go.
Thanks mate.
Jumped over this one and went straight to the Natural Cask Strength 12yr sherry cask, then the Signatory single sherry cask 10. In the US this is 43% but the bottles I have seen are no where near as dark as the bottle you have. Wonder if it has been reformulated with more sherry casks ? Where I am there is not that much price difference from the 12 Calidonia so hard to pull the trigger on this one. Some of my favorite 10s are Glencadam and Benromach. Cheers Jim
Cheers Tim. Yeah if given the choice between this and the Caledonia...I'd definately spend that difference and buy the 12. It's a quality piece of work. The 12 and Signatory editions are hard enough to come by here in the UK. I mean, you can get them...but you'll have to work for it. Lovely stuff though.
Thanks mate.
The moment you mentioned rum and raisin I started salivating lol.was looking for a bottle for Xmas maybe this is the one . Great review Jim 👍👍🥃
😄 cheers Neil. I'll be posting you some samples over in the next couple of weeks, so I'll put in a wee sample of this one.
40 percent can surprise you. Checking these out. Cheers 🥃
Cheers Antonio. Yep, nothing wrong with 40% when it's done right.
The thing with a 10 series is that it should be 2 catagorys. Isla/Island 10's are a whole thing in themselves. A mainland 10 category is a whole second group. Good luck Jim !
Cheers Tim. Just thinking about it...the next 3 of the series are Islay and Island. I hadn't even thought about that.
I had this once, years ago, and it didn’t sit well with me. Think I probably was too much of a novice then (if you’ll pardon my French), because other Edradours I tried over the years were often cracking. So must revisit this one and be on the hunt for that 12 yo Caledonia. Looking forward to your other choices because there are indeed an awful lot of pretty brilliant younger whiskies out there.
Cheers Menno. It's an aquired taste for sure. The 12, I feel, plays more "run of the mill" although still excellent. I do like this 10yr old although, as I said in the review, it requires a little acclimation.
Great review Jim, I've only tried a sample of the 10 but enjoyed it its on my list of bottles to buy along with the 12. I do have the Edradour Signatory 10 which is something else lol. Take care stay safe.
Cheers Leejay. Yeah I hear great things about that Signatory edition. Ralfy was very impressed by it. Must check it out.
Thanks buddy.
The Signatory is a gem. I have a 2009/2020 bottle open, that I actually hide a little bit to make it last longer. If I'd jus put it on my bar, it would be gone in a wink...😬
@@ThisIsNotACigar 😄😄 I do that with Ledaig. Cheers Bernd.
Good review Jim. Had this quite a few years ago and I dont know but didn't really enjoy it, didnt ever buy it again maybe its different now? The 12 is awesome, apart from that I buy IB's from edradour and I'm a fan of their ballechin as well. Looking forward to this series. Cheers Jim. 👍
I think this may actually be a love or...not love (I wouldn't go as far as hate) whisky. There are a lot of things going on in it which, I would imagine, could put some people off it.
Really got to get my hands on an IB of this. Everyone raves about them.
Cheers David.
That is a a good 10 year old that I enjoy. Cheers!
Sure is. Cheers.
Another fab review Jim, need to grab a bottle of this and discover if its a ‘perfect’10!
Cheers Hellen. Well....perfect's a big ask isn't it 😄. This is certainly worth a pick up. It's a different experience of whisky, for me, this one.
@@WhiskeyNovice coolio, will check it out. Had a similar experience with the Craigellachie 13yo recently ... do love a ‘dirty’ whisky!
I love any whisky that gives me damp tobacco notes, and this one sure does.
I like this, but I prefer the 10yo Signatory un-chillfiltered collection. Comes out every year @46% and is a nice conversation piece too (is this an independent or a original bottling?). The SFTC I have too seek out though. The only SFTC I know is the Ballechin 13yo Port Cask and is absolutely bonkers. Love Edradour, it's one of my top 3 distilleries.
Excellent Bernd. Yeah I've got to get my hands on one of those Signatory editions. Seems to be very popular. Cheers buddy.
3x the price here, so there's that.
