Great review for an excellent bottle of whisky. Edradour is famed to be the smallest distillery in Scotland and they still use their small stills dating back to the old days. I had the pleasure of visiting this distillery and tasting some of their bottles. This is one of their best and one of the most complex sherry bombs out their on the market. For the price and an age statement, wonderful value for money.
Good review, and I agree given the dram 2 years ago. I picked up a new bottle the other day, hopefully it will open up more, not sure quality of the casks is the same as before. More later.
I have gotten a bottle of these recently and I subscribe to each and every one of your words, it is a beautiful whisky that is worth every penny invested, I liked it very much and it may become my favorite sherry.
Hi Jeff or is it Geoff I haven't said anything until now, but I watch all your videos, and I can totally agree with you on the edradour Caledonia ,I have many many whiskeys and I put this whiskey in my top 5, this is superb whiskey, after buying one bottle, I went back and bought 3 more bottles, it runs about $70.00 a bottle, I simply love this one, cheers brother and keep the great videos coming !!!
Geoff. 😉 Yeah Caledonia is awesome stuff. And that's a pretty good price for it, I hear it reaches almost $100 in some states (Im assuming you're American). Definitely doesn't hurt to stash an extra bottle or two away! Thanks for watching and for your kind words of encouragement! 🙏
Super glad you mentioned all the great things I'm looking for in the finish. Was kind of worried about this because of the sweet flavors at the beginning, but it seems as if this one comes through for what am hoping to find in my next bottle, which are the earthy, orange peel, dark chocolate, leathery notes and the like, that you talk about and allude to, and other reviews also mention. Thanks for the great review and am looking even more forward now into exploring this scotch at Xmas. As an amateur that has had a few, mostly easy on the beginner drams, this will be an adventure. I've heard over and over that this one requires patience to allow all the flavors to come through and will give it that.
That's a great dram! There are some singel casks called "Straigt from the cask" about 57%abv. There is also great bottelings from Signatory. Everything from Edradour, unpeated, is great...so far
Actually as soon as I fell in love with this one I picked up a straight from the cask 10! I've not popped it yet but you can expect a review for that one at some point down the line. Thanks for the recommendation, those Signatory ones look great!
@@bluesmanen1 i didnt try it yet but as im smoky stuff lover looking for much opinions as i can before decide to buy a bottle. Heard good things about Ballechin. Cheers anyway 🥃🙋♂️
Saw this first with Ralfy (who labelled it 'sublime'). Your review made me pull the trigger on this bottle. Just obtained this today - holy f#@k ! Rocket fuel! Rubs shoulders with Springbank 12 CS - with its own unequivocally unique character. Elixir of bliss!
I have a few bangers on my shelf... Arran 18, Glenscotia 18, Glendronach 18... many, many others (no 21's yet though, Whisky is truly expensive in Brazil). The Caledonia can go head to head with any of them and most times it is going to win. This is a heavy hitter. Dirty Sherry describes it better than anything. It wasn't love at first sight though probably due to my own off expectations... I thought (for some reason) it was going to be sweet, fruity, jammy... it has a bit of that but it's way more savory and dry. But boy oh boy, once you get past your own expectations and start appreciating it for what it is (and possibly after the bottle has some air time), this really, really shines. It loves oxidation. I'm glad I still have another sealed bottle of this so I can appreciate it guilty free (of running out).
Jeff... tragic ordered 3 of these ... and 5 are turning up .. credit card red hot ..appreciate your posts ... Its good stuff .. maybe I've lost it but thought I could pick up some smoke or peat. ??
Just buy one, and i must say Thank You Geoff!! Totally a hidden gem. I'm not heavy sherry guy, but do love this tobaccoy non-too-sweet complex sherry cheater! I say cheater cause the price here is just half of Tamdhu 15 which is very delicious , i mean, no contest! Would you recommend some other peated whisky similar with this style of sherry?
I'm glad you like it. This is such a stunner for the price! Edradour is known to have some of the richest sherry out there, so there's not a lot that I'd say compares to this, especially for such a great price. Peat + sherry? Even harder. I'm a big fan of Kilchoman Loch Gorm when it comes to peat + sherry, but it's not really similar. Also it's more expensive. Sorry that's a tough one to answer!
Took your advice and just bought this a couple weeks ago. I'll let ya know what I think when I crack 'er open. Just found out that Signatory is part of this distillery. Who knew?
Hey Geoff - great video as always .. if you had to pick one in a “Dram off” either this or the Glenlivet 12 Year Old Illicit Still - what you you go for interested in your opinion
Hi Jeff I agree with you totally, it's in my top 10 whiskeys, bunnahabhain and ardbeg's whiskeys rounding out the top of my favorites, I just found arran 18 year old, and it's the old label 🏷 not the new one. I simply think this is by far one of the best whiskeys on the shelves, your 91 points are well deserved for this whiskey, cheers 🍻 brother and keep up the great reviews, I would love to see what you think of the arran 18year old ,it's a superb whiskey and one of my favorites !!!
I haven't reviewed the old 18. A review of the newer version was put out much earlier this year when I was just starting up the channel. Thanks for the kind words, Frankie! Appreciate the support! 🙏
Label: *displays literal Scottish flag* Geoff: It's weird, I wonder what country it's from In any case, this is one of my favorite core range whiskies. Too bad it's not easy to find in my region. I wish I had a bottle at home right now...
SO glad i found this Episode: EDDIE-12 (aka The CALEDONIA) finally returned to Canada, late Sept 2022 as we speak . . . THe FIRST release of this 12yo was chosen by Dougie Maclean (musician) himself who puts his hand on a chosen cask after trying and bottled as 46% when he got invited to ED distillery to chose one (to celebrate his song success "Caledonia" longing for Old SCotland written in Brittany / France in 1977, re-released in 2010 . . . ). . . 97$CAD - - - will get a case, it has been over 7-8 years last seen in Ontario
This bottle here, like you say is popular with the Reviewers. Both Ralfy one more told me they like it better than Tamdhu 15. As far as it being budget, idk. It’s $92 here in Florida. I’m slightly undecided if I should pull the trigger on it this weekend, or hold on and wait for something else to pop up.
Honestly under $100 I would still try it out. It's cheaper here, but at the price I pay I actually feel like I'm getting away with something! It drinks like a much more expensive whisky!
@@Gwhisky Btw, isn’t this getting discontinued ? At least this Caledonia “batch” not sure but I think an Edradour rep said so in a comment section of a Ralf vlog. Anyhow I can’t seem to find it except in one single store. After that it’s online only. Also I gotta say, you guys seem to get better prices than even the Scottish! Amazing! Unless it’s just certain brands. To give a rough idea of market where I am. Bladnoch 10 =$50, macallan 12=$60, Glendronach 15=$85-100, Glendronach 18=$220, Bunnahabhain 12=$60-70, Tamdhu 15=$90-125, Deanston 12=$65, Longmorn 16=$125, Laphroaig QC=50-60, JW Black =$30
I think I may have heard something like that, but hard to confirm. Not much clear info that I can find. Yeah Taiwan is a huge whisky market per capita, and we get some fantastic deals. Scotland ships it to the other side of the world only to sell it off cheaper than in Scotland. Baffling, but I won't complain. No way I'd enjoy as much whisky as I do if I was still in Canada, where bottles often go for about twice the price they are here!
@@Gwhisky Well that’s one incentive to move there. Prices here have jumped up dramatically in the last year. $45 Bottles went up to 60, others from 70 to 100. Not a good time to be a drinker for me. I hope the market regains some stability and also brings prices down. I just can’t afford to buy much lately. Seems like I gotta have $80-90 to buy any bottle I’m looking at lately. I was stunned when I saw not too long ago deanston 12 for $40 at a local shop, then I realized it was old stock. Once they ran out and brought in new ones they were priced at 65. Insane.
Sorry to hear that! Hopefully with the recent change in policy over there with regards to UK imports some of those prices will start to settle back down.
Regarding this being a "single cask", it could be that this bottling is a single cask of Edradour finished in a single Sherry cask, thus it's not batch-made.
Nice review! How would you compare Edradour 12 to Royal Brackla 12 and KAVALAN Vinho? I'm curious the difference of the mouthfeel and the finish between them.
I've seen it bandied around as the means to get heavy sherry without putting out the bucks for A'Bunadh. It's $85 here, compared to A'Bunadh at $110 US.
It's a totally different character than A'bunadh, but both definitely fall into the category of big sherry. The Edradour has much more of a "dirty funk" to it, so it's more of a niche style, I suppose. Both are great whiskies though. You really can't go wrong. Cheers. 🥃
Such an impressive and succinct reviewer of fine malts you are! One question I have which I've been meaning to ask you, how do you get so much on the palate without keeping the liquid in your mouth very long? It seems I keep the whisky in my mouth for a good 10-15 seconds per sip (of course depending on the age) and I don't seem to get half as much as you do. I'm thinking you get most of your palate on the finish. Maybe I should start doing that pull thing! :D
Hah there's no trick to it. My videos are scripted. While I do get plenty of tasting notes during the shoot, I also have a series of tasting notes that were jotted down in advance. Im not nearly as succinct as you may think! The power of editing! 😂
@@Gwhisky LOL, man, I wish I can edit myself in real time! :P Btw, I purchased the last Edradour Caledonia 12 on sale for $90 CAD .. hope I made a good choice, your review led the way to my decision as I've never had this bottle, but sounds like something I'd love !
I'm fairly positive, but not certain, that single cask whiskies can be finished. Single cask refers to that each batch come from a single cask. Not that it spends its entire life in a single cask. I imagine each batch comes from the sherry butt it was finished in, meaning they probably get about 600 bottles per batch, but I'm speculating on this a bit. I wish they gave us batch information on each release. I've seen many different colors on the caledonia which leads me to believe they are single barrel releases.
I would love to try this one (very limited availability) but it’s $100US and I just don’t drink slow enough for it to last. Do I have a problem? lol No, I just enjoy a dram or2 or3. At home, of course. Life is good.
Hah fair enough. USD $100 is kind of high for this. It's super flavourful and it's a genuinely good 12 year sherry bomb, but I don't know that I'd want to go over $80. Maybe $90 at the outset.
1) EDRA-DOW-ER 2) BA-LECK-INN 3) Edradour has no chill filtered whiskies, including the 10 YO OB, and never adds coloration of any kind. Otherwise, well done review…🥃🥃
Haven’t opened my bottle yet. Will replace my Arran Sherry bottle when I knock off its heel. Have you been able to get a NcNean? Would be interested in your thoughts. Cheers
@@Gwhisky Arran is always consistently good. I'm not one to have all my bottles open so I tend to only have a couple of sherry "bombs" open as they are often a mood "thing" for me and not just a grab a relaxing dram type bottle. Only managed to pick up a single bottle of the Nc'Nean through Master of Malt (which was lucky I guess), so I'm interested to see how it comes up - bit worried it'll be a bit too "new makey" so if I do open it I'll keep you in mind. Cheers
A budget sherry bomb? well if you mean 150 dollars a bottle is Canada is a budget brand than my budget is much lower LOL. I have not bought a bottle of this yet because of the price.. Very rare in my area have not been around for a few years in my province but have noted prices around the country with included 13 percent sales tax and shipping
I mean, you're in Canada. Nothing is affordable there. This bottle cost me about CAD $70 last year. It's since gone up to the equivalent of CAD $90, which is already too much in my book. At $70 I thought it was a good deal. Beautiful whisky.
@Gwhisky finally tried edradour and loved it. I just wish it was tad sweeter like kavlan solist series. I still rate solist series higher than edradour but its personal choice.
Great review for an excellent bottle of whisky. Edradour is famed to be the smallest distillery in Scotland and they still use their small stills dating back to the old days.

I'd take this. Imo the Illicit Still is fantastic stuff, but it can't match the richness and unique flavours in this one.
In our country it just got available but its at a 115 USD. Man it's very limited. I was just hoping more competitive prices will come.
Just ordered this one along with the 12 yr old Natural Cask Strenght

Kavalan Vinho is easily the best. Thicker, richer, more dense and intense (also much more expensive). Then Edradour, then RB12. 🥃
I've seen it bandied around as the means to get heavy sherry without putting out the bucks for A'Bunadh. It's $85 here, compared to A'Bunadh at $110 US.

@Gwhisky finally tried edradour and loved it. I just wish it was tad sweeter like kavlan solist series. I still rate solist series higher than edradour but its personal choice.
how much does this one cost where you are?
The bottle I bought for this review last year cost about USD $50. It's gone up about $15 since then.
@@Gwhisky thats it? wow, great price. Im wondering how it could be a high end whisky at such a low price
