Edradour 22 Year Old 1999 Barolo Cask Finish

Edradour 22 Year Old 1999 Barolo Cask Finish is a vintage Highland single malt from Edradour, the small distillery at Pitlochry in Perthshire. The youngest spirit in the bottling was distilled on 9 August 1999. It spent its early years in ex-bourbon hogsheads before being moved into two ex-Barolo wine hogsheads - cask numbers 830 and 832 - for a long finish in casks that had held the Piedmont red. It was bottled on 26 August 2021 at natural strength, 55.2% ABV, giving just 567 numbered bottles. Presented in a 70cl bottle with a blue tube.

Palate: Full bodied, with redcurrant jelly, maple syrup and cranberry; water brings out cinnamon-spiced apple and clove.

Finish: Long and sweet, fading to sugared almond.

Serve: Neat, adding water a few drops at a time.
