Whisky Sponge Equilibrium Edition No.2 Edradour 16 Year Old 55% ABV

Equilibrium is our ongoing attempt to create whiskies that display a balanced sherry and peat flavour profile. Always featuring the two single malts from Edradour distillery. 

This second release is a mix of a 2005 Edradour and a 2005 Ballechin, both matured full term for 16 years in 2nd fill sherry hogsheads and bottled with slight reduction at 55%.

We're very happy with the result. It's a slightly lighter and more subtle expression than Equilibrium One, showing more complex earthy notes, dry wood smoke, herbs, cured meats, dark fruits and tobaccos. Layered, rich and highly sessionable. 

We think anyone who enjoys peat and sherry together will find plenty to enjoy here. However, as ever, we'd be very keen to hear what you think. Has 'balance' been achieved? Do the peat and sherry get along together? And can the Sponge justify the extravagant, ongoing business expense of doing all his blending in outer space?
