EDRADOUR - 2003 - 17 ans - 59.70 %
Edradour is a Highland distillery located in the village of Moulin, near Pitlochry. It is the smallest traditional Scottish whisky distillery and the last small farmer from the Victorian era still in production. It is also known for her connection with the New York Mafia. Edradour was founded in 1825 under the name of Glenforres Distillery by a cooperative of local farmers. In 1938, Irving Haim, an agent of New York Mafia boss Frank Costello, became the major shareholder. Upon Haim's death in 1976, the company was sold to an Australian-American consortium of companies, then to a subsidiary of Pernod Ricard in 1982. Since 2002, the distillery has been owned by Signatory Vintage Ltd. The distillery retains many traditional features and antique pieces of equipment. For example, the vat wort is cooled by the latest Morton commercial refrigerator, using only cold water. No process is computer controlled.
This limited edition of Edradour was distilled on October 15, 2003 and aged for 17 years in a Single Cask (#926). The whisky was matured in first-fill Sherry casks. 674 bottles were produced.
