Edradour Unveils Sauternes and Burgundy Cask Small Batches

Edradour and James Eadie Present Unique Small Batch Releases

Kirsch Import introduces a compelling lineup of seventeen new whiskies, including notable contributions from Edradour and James Eadie. Of particular interest to single malt enthusiasts are two Edradour small batches matured in exclusive French wine casks, reflecting a fine balance between Scottish craftsmanship and French terroir. The Edradour 10 Years Old 2016 Small Batch offers a honeyed sweetness from Sauternes hogsheads, while the Edradour 12 Years Old 2013 Small Batch delivers layered red fruit complexity from Burgundy wine casks.

Maturation & Flavor Profile

The Edradour 10 Years Old 2016 Small Batch matured for a decade in first fill Sauternes hogsheads formerly housing one of Bordeaux’s acclaimed sweet wines. This imparts a vivid profile rich with honey, ripe stone fruits, and floral nuances. Bottled at 46% ABV without coloring, it’s crafted to preserve a creamy texture and a long sweet-fruity finish with subtle wood spice.

In contrast, the Edradour 12 Years Old 2013 Small Batch spent twelve years in first fill Burgundy Pinot Noir hogsheads. The French oak casks lend this Highland single malt delicate dried cherry, red fruit, vanilla, and a nuanced earthiness, culminating in a long finish with lingering vanilla and spice. Also bottled at 46% ABV and non-colored, this whisky showcases full-bodied texture and oily mouthfeel.
