Scotch Whisky reviews

Edradour is a very small operation (3 guys) with a still that is barely big enough to be called legal. This whisky is very interesting. To my sniffer, the nose smelled like peanut butter and caramel. The…

A non-chill filtered, cask-strength beauty Nose: smoke/peat, sweet, full, malty Palate: sherry, smoky, malty, slightly hot Palate with H2O: floral Rate: 90-95 WOW!To me quite different from the PC7
