Edradour 2007 12 Year Sherry Cask

Disappointing. Great nose, complex sherry notes. Palate is like aberlour abunadh. Mediocre stuff can complete with macallan classic cut perhaps on its best day but flavors are too muted, orange forward to compete with the rich complexity of top notch sherry bombs like bunna and glendronach. Tried this after using these to benchmark: macallan classic cut, red breast 15, rabbit hole daeringer, glendronach 18, bunnahabhain 18. All of those drams are superior. I have some sample left. Will let it oxidize, turn back to it in a month or two to see if it improves

Second tasting weeks later. Good stuff. Like bunna 18 without sedimenty notes, so ‘smoother’. Not like abundah at all. Interested to try other cask strength edradour sherry cask expressions
