Насыщенный хересный профиль (олоросо) с тёмными фруктами, шоколадом и заметной серой; оценки высокие и согласованные (в основном 88–92), но опытные ревьюеры сдержаннее восторженного большинства.
развернуть подробно
В аромате — тёмные фрукты (изюм, чернослив, вишня, сливовый компот), тёмный шоколад, ваниль, старое дерево, орехи и характерная для олоросо насыщенность, у части дегустаторов с оттенком рома, мяты или кожи; серные ноты присутствуют, но у большинства интегрированы лучше, чем в сестринском Edradour 12 Cask Strength. Вкус густой, сиропный и сладкий — вишнёво-сливовый джем, финики, дуб, пряности, кровавый апельсин, с хорошо встроенным спиртом и вяжуще-пряной хересной основой, напоминающей выдержку в винной бочке; вода раскрывает, не разрушая характер. Послевкусие оценивают неоднозначно: одни хвалят долготу и пряность, другие называют его коротковатым, горьковатым и недостаточно сложным на фоне выдающегося аромата.
Расхождение проходит по линии опыта: авторитетные ревьюеры ставят преимущественно 82–90 и отмечают провал в послевкусии, тогда как рядовые дегустаторы чаще ставят 90–96 и говорят о «гранате» и великолепном хересе. Отдельные критические голоса указывают на резкую, несбалансированную серу и слабую отдачу аромата, а также сомневаются в необходимости покупать целую бутылку. В целом оценки плотно сгруппированы вокруг 88–92 при общем согласии по профилю и главном спорном пункте — качестве послевкусия.

After a first tasting in February, I finally dare to write something after another tasting in March. After the first dram, I had some trouble putting into words the good (but still closed-off) impression. After the second dram tonight I find a few words about my impressions. The oxygen after opening did him good. Today I drank preserved cherries (stored sealed in the cellar for a long time) with marzipan flavor. And luckily today I found what I was hoping for from this whisky from the start. In a nutshell: delicious!

The nose is without question great with a nice interplay of various dark fruits and tannins. Still pretty good on the palate, but then the finish becomes disappointing in comparison. Too short, not complex enough, poorly integrated alcohol.

Dark fruit at the beginning (raisins), plus vanilla, old wood, spices, alcohol. Then roasted aromas and dust. Later it becomes much more fruity with raspberries, cherries, strawberries and plums. |

Sweet fruit jam (cherry, plum), wood, vanilla. The alcohol is well integrated. |

Medium-length finish with now rather moderately integrated alcohol. Some bitterness, oak, slightly dark fruit and pepper. |
Typical Edradour's sherry monster flavor. Comparing with Edradour 12 cask strength the sulfur notes are still here but much better integrated. But still I don't feel to need a full bottle.

Semi-dried plums, grape jam, distinct nuttiness, spices of old bottles (rancio maybe), chocolate, mango, and a hint of gasoline. A positive aspect is that despite the long aging, there wasn't overwhelming tannic influences. (Perhaps due to the initial aging in bourbon casks?) |
| Вкус |

Raisins, dark chocolate, dates, peanut butter with clear sulfur influence, blood orange, oak, vanilla, lime and subtle floral notes. |

Rum raisin, cognac-like spices just as at the nose, grape stem, dark chocolate, crispy roasted peanuts, rich oak with plenty of tannins, orange essence oil, and again subtle floral notes. |
What a gorgeous drop! A (!) dram that will make you happy for a whole evening. Where you can play with water without losing your core and character. Dark coppery liquid gold, greetings go out to Pitlochry. Thank you for this

A lush, fat sherry nose that does not deny its alcohol content at first and then comes along with Amarena cherries, dark chocolate, plum compote with rum and a light mint freshness |

Wow, is that Oloroso? Comes more like a red wine barrel-aged whisky a la Oamaruvian, just not quite as brutally mouth-watering. Astringent and spicy, then salivation sets in. Water mitigates this effect somewhat without devaluing it |

Spicy, long and pleasant, it remains present for a long time. A wonderful and special drop. |

Yeah.. it was okay. But won't purchase it for bottle.

This is a beauty. Wow! Love the Oloroso nose. 22 years old, 7 in ex bourbon and 15 in Oloroso sherry. Can you still call it a finish? Nonetheless, it is a solid whisky.

Brown sugar, toffee, raisins, nuts, coconut, apple and vanilla. Some leather, beef bouillon...? It really works well together |

Syrupy, sweet and sticky, oak spice |

The oak spice and sweetness continues, slightly bitter... keeps going going going. |

The Edradour 1999 with ex-Bourbon Hoghshead barrels and 15 years of maturation in fresh Oloroso barrels is a very successful bottling. Very round and dangerously drinkable :-)

Greatest whisky in a long, long time I've tried. Real grenade! 330 € for a large bottle are of course still expensive but unfortunately that's the way it is nowadays.
Absolutely brilliant, wonderful sherry whisky!!

Aroma- chest nut flower, rancio, prune, something like a rich black fruit. Slight alcohol, subtle yellow, brown sugar, slightly buttery. Chocolate, bright fruit. The smell is very weak. This is a minus. Taste- prune, blood orange, chocolate, slight tannin, slight yellow, almond skin. Oily. The taste of chocolate itself. Very chocolatey. Finish- bitter chocolate, prune-like. Slight slufer If the volume of the smell was better, it would have been rated higher.
Formidable complexity, brightness from the bourbon cask and dark fruits/spices notes from olorosso cask. Soft alcohol on the palate that gradually warms the tongue. I agree with the tasting notes described by other reviewers. Wonderful.
Sublime nose. Taste and finish are great, and the alcohol (55.8%) is integrated very well. But you're gonna need few drops of water to unlock all hidden secrets of this Edradour. First impression is equivalent to the appearance of Bloater in the Last of Us. And then this monster starts to show its real character and complexity. Real sherry monster, supported with notes of jammy fruits, chocolate, leather, roasted nuts, oak, tobacco. There are some similarities with best rums. Oily, viscous. Simply excellent. 95-95-95.
For me, this is the one !
