A Wee Bit of Scotland

Edradour Scotch Whisky

Edradour is a unique, single Highland malt whisky, to be enjoyed in recognition of those small, significant moments that make up the ebb and flow of life.

While not new to the shelves at Sun Singer, Edradour fills such a particular niche in the Scotch world that it deserves renewed recognition, especially with a selection of barrel finishes being produced.

Edradour is produced in Scotland's smallest distillery - and is hand made today as it was over 150 years ago by just three men who are devoted to the time-honored methods of whisky making. Indeed equipment used at the distillery has remained unchanged since the day the distillery opened and is only just capable of producing commercial quantities. Only 12 casks of whisky are produced a week, making Edradour single malt a rare pleasure for a fortunate few.

Edradour 'Straight-from-the-Cask' 1997 Sassicaia Finish
A cask strength bottling of Edradour single malt matured in ex-Sassicaia casks. Sassicaia is a world-reknowned Italian wine made by the Incisa della Rocchetta family. This whisky spent the last 19 months of its maturation in a Sassicaia hogshead and is limited to just 464 bottles.

Edradour 'Straight-from-the-Cask' 1996 Grand Arome Rum Finish
This was distilled on the 30th January 1996 and aged in hogsheads before recasking into a rum butt (a cask that held rum, not the result of too many pies and too little exercise) on the 27th July 2006. It was bottled on the 1st May 2008 at cask strength.

Edradour 12 year Doug MacLeans Caledonian Selection
A special bottling of Edradour 12yo. Songwriter Dougie Maclean has selected this single Oloroso cask from 1997 as part of the Homecoming celebrations and named it after his most famous song, Caledonia. This is the first in what will be an ongoing series from Edradour.
