Edradour 13 Year Old 2012 Michael Eppan Pinot Noir 70cl, 48.2%

Description

Edradour 13 Year Old 2012 Michael Eppan Pinot Noir 70cl 48.2% is a distinctive Highland single malt Scotch whisky from one of Scotland’s smallest and most traditional distilleries. Distilled in 2012 and matured for 13 years, this release spent its full maturation in a first-fill Pinot Noir butt from the respected Michael Eppan winery, giving the whisky a fruit-led and elegant wine-cask character.

Bottled at 48.2% ABV in a 70cl format, this expression is presented with natural colour and without chill filtration, helping preserve its texture and full flavour. Retail sources describe it as a richer, red-fruited style of Edradour, where the distillery’s robust Highland spirit is matched by the soft tannins and dense berry character of Pinot Noir cask maturation.

This bottling is especially appealing for drinkers who enjoy wine-cask matured whisky and want to explore a different side of Edradour beyond the distillery’s more familiar sherry-led style. That comparison to Edradour’s usual profile is an inference based on the cask type and how the retailers position the whisky.

Collector’s Note

This bottling has strong enthusiast appeal because it combines Edradour’s small-distillery reputation with a less common wine-cask maturation style. For buyers who enjoy comparing the distillery’s classic sherried character with more experimental cask influences, this Michael Eppan Pinot Noir release is a particularly interesting addition. That comparison point is an inference rather than a stated official note.
