"About as much subtlety as an airhorn at a funeral" 😂 You have such a way with words

[@xxacidmv]

That is a top Geoff quote

[@lawrenceheath1993]

I've had this in my basket online all week but haven't pulled the trigger yet as I was still being indecisive. Clicked on KZbin and look what pops up, the worlds second best whisky channel to jump in and cement the buy 🐋

[@Johnny__Silver]

Nice! Edradour, one of my top3 favorite distilleries, let’s do this!

[@angerysig1]

Edradour/Ballechin is one of my Top 5 favorite distilleries. One of the most distinct distillates in all of Scotch. They do have some wild, seemingly random, caskings instead of sticking to a core lineup, but its admirable that a maker with such little output experiments as much as they do.

[@chentim1751]

Nice review, edradour is an old school distillery, funky, complex, like it. Thanks Geoff

[@GustavoLima-wp3tt]

Batch 4 is also a beautiful whisky, and also “not sweet”. Great review, as always!

[@CarlFredericVillard-w4i]

Being a fan of the Straight from the Cask ,10 yr @59.1% ABV, and after listening to your review I decided to open my bottle and having a dram now. Good stuff Indeed My Bottle was ordered from Hard to Find Whisky to Haiti cost me 147$ .

[@DJMJRyder]

I'm so glad they keep their core releases minimal, I'm all about the huge variety of single casks in different wine casks

[@Gwhisky]

Yeah it's cool. They're hard to pin down, but that's not a bad thing! 🥃

[@Koby616]

Great design of the bottle. I enjoy sulfare notes, it's pretty cool.

[@jimmyjazz4605]

I respect Edradour/Signatory just due to the fact that they're sourcing and using good quality casks, especially sherry. I know a lot of their drams can be very cask heavy but man, no doubting their cask selection.

[@TheSilverSphincter69]

I love the old wood dirty dusty funky umami taste

[@MaltDaddy]

Hooray to Sherry bomb review!

[@Johnny__Silver]

Suggestion for a review. Staying in line with Edradour: a Ballechin SFTC release. Really enjoyable stuff too.

[@bluesmanen1]

Sounds like a good one. I like Edradour quite alot, it got loads of personality. Wish that this one appears in Sweden sometime, with a fair price tag on it...I would definitely buy it🍷cheers

[@Kinshasa9200]

I’ve only had the standard ballechin and Caledonia. The sulphur funk is present in both but the sherry influence takes it over the top in the best way. The Caledonia really integrates cask and spirit interplay, and while I’d love to explore their whole lineup, their prices get crazy very quickly.

[@31446963048]

Had this sometime before covid. Regretted not buying more😊

[@fefe2044]

I have the same bottle (batch 2). Agree with the sulfur notes, but those have subsided after opening up for almost a year. This one requires patience. Old school indeed, and I'm jealous you bought it for 100 bucks. I had to pay more than that plus shipping out of UK to US. I love giving a pour to friends, to showcase a "sherry extreme" whisky. I like it for its uniqueness, but I don't look for it every time.

[@vinceandtheresa1243]

Thanks for the review. I would pick that bottle up if it was in my Market here in Ontario, Canada. I was wondering, what are you doing at: 4:31 ? I have seen you do that motion before and always wondering. Salute!

[@Brad-ic4bp]

I tried an Edradour 10 bottle once, loved it, then haven’t been able to find another since.

[@WhiskyWolf514]

Alright. I'm convinced. I will add it to the list. Glad to see some old-school sherry bombs again hehe You really gotta review the Bimber batch 4 Buddy 😁 Great review and work as always my friend🥃🎩🥃🎩

[@Gwhisky]

Yeah that Bimber deserves a review. Too long of a backlog. Hard life, this. 🥃

[@ps3inquisition441]

I do love me some Edradour, unfortunately every bottle I’ve had is gone. A friend has this one you’re reviewing, I’ll have to go crush his bottle.

[@WhiskyWars]

I’m the same as you, I still like sherried whisky but the past year or so I’ve been drinking less so I wasn’t thinking of grabbing this one… until you mentioned the tart berries, funk + it not being too sweet and now I’m really interested 😅

[@Gwhisky]

Yeah I think you'll like this one. Even the "non-bomber" crowd can get behind something on this level. Cheers Ash! 🥃

[@bonbongandalf4920]

2:08 speaking of butts… you know you can train spice tolerance for both the entrypoint and exitpoint of the spice? Well, if you didnt you do now. Just think of it like high abv, but for your exit 😂

[@Gwhisky]

Well done. 😂

[@rukog]

12y sherry buts or 10y sftc - that's the question wich should I chose

[@forlornHope]

Cheers 🥃

[@Gwhisky]

Cheers! 🥃

[@merongpu]

I noticed it was more acidic on my palette when I compared it to other sherry. I wonder if it was the sulfur that I noticed

[@davidSFL79]

Sounds like it’s got sherry-tiscular fortitude

[@lightplays2181]

One of my favorite distillery. Cheers !

[@Gwhisky]

Agree. Edradour makes great stuff! Cheers my friend. 🥃

[@lightplays2181]

@Gwhisky gaumarjos !

[@elduderino3120]

How does it measure up against Teh Bunna 12 CS?

[@Gwhisky]

I like this more than the 2023. The 2022 was my favourite, but the funk in this is something to behold. Might edge out even that one. 🥃

[@lesterlau]

Interesting! I do like the Caledonia quite a bit - looking forward to trying a dram of this sometime @gwhisky!

[@Gwhisky]

Easy fix... I'll bring it tonight! 😜

[@lesterlau]

@@Gwhisky 🔥🔥🔥

[@SimonneNZ]

Sounds like an interesting whisky, but it doesn't seem to be available in my market. I like sherried whisky, but I have to be in the right mood for the really big sherry bombs. Cheers!

[@astroboy3507]

NOW GEOFF U SAID SHERRY BOMB IM ALL 👂 😊🥃

[@ironmantran]

Boss G. ! Ed had not returned to Ontario since 2010... i remember it as Kavalan-ish, with that saccharin-sweet DNA

[@Gwhisky]

It's got the Kavalan weight, but not as sweet. Wait... 2010? Wut? ZERO Edradour at the LCBO?

[@vimalrajkappil]

I think in general edredour Now a days release are much better than What it was .

[@peathead4450]

Thanks for reviewing Geoff I'll play the pacifist today: no bombs please. Slàinte mhath

[@Gwhisky]

Lol copy that. 🥃

[@peterwhite507]

$190 cad in Alberta, I have the FOMO but just too much. Maybe I will break out my last bottle of Glen Garioch 1999 sherry cask for a dirty sherry fix

[@Gwhisky]

A problem and solution in one quick comment. I like this. ⬆

[@ashythedon]

Is this a whiskey channel or a Yodeling Channel!?! 😂

[@Gwhisky]

Can't it be both? 🤔

[@rfpho1456]

The Signatory version isn’t sweet either - funky interesting whisky

[@jre617]

Well, this is a strange one. Can't say it sounds like my style. Seems like a lot of 88s. What's the lowest and highest scores ever?

[@djkamy]

$100 ?? Try $500 in Canada...

[@Gwhisky]

I'd move to another country on principal. 😉

[@ShivaNowbut]

First

[@JohnDoe-bw3tz]

Please, don't use cringy AI generated stuff...

[@ryanmercer600]

I have that bottle, World Class
