1980s The Eradour 10 Year Highland Malt

Colour: gold.

Nose: . Clean spirit, with a very, very nice sherry, quite some vanilla, honey and soft spices . Great notes of orange cake as well, and even parsley and vegetable bouillon.

Mouth: it’s a very good attack, extremely honeyed and malty. Roasted chestnuts, brownies, mocha and then even more honey. Slight bitterness after a moment (walnut skin).

Finish: long – all these low strength Edradours are big drams – and evolving on even more honey, caramelised nuts and okay, maybe a faint soapiness again in the ‘signature’. Comments: this is good. Worth having in your collection
