Edradour No. 2 Inaugural Release is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky marking the first bottling from the distillery’s second site, built in 2018 to expand production. Distilled in Pitlochry, Perthshire, it represents a milestone for Edradour, long known as one of Scotland’s smallest distilleries.
The whisky is aged seven years in first-fill Oloroso sherry butts and bottled at cask strength of 57.1% ABV. It typically retails for about $56 (£45).
There’s more cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Thick, viscous, and syrupy mouthfeel. Behind that it’s big, sweet, and fruity with candied orange, red velvet cake, raisins, and red licorice.
