Edradour 2011 / 13 Year Old / Marsala Finish /Signatory for The Whisky Exchange Highland Whisky

Priscilla Nunes — Punches well above its weight

9/10

Picked this up from TWE on a whim and I'm genuinely impressed. The nose is all sticky toffee pudding and red berries, and the palate delivers rich wine-soaked fruitcake at cask strength. Thirteen years in that Marsala cask was the sweet spot. I drink it neat and just let the ABV do its thing.

Mia Sundberg — Nice wine cask experiment

7/10

Interesting one this. You get the classic Edradour waxy character underneath all that Marsala influence — grape must, candied orange peel, cinnamon. It's a bit hot on the finish even for a cask strength fan like me. I'd say it's fair value at £95 but nothing that blew my mind.

Grace Kim — Edradour continues to surprise me

8/10

I keep underestimating this tiny distillery. The Marsala finish gives it a jammy, almost port-like quality with baked cherries and warm spice. Needs a few drops of water to tame the 58.9% but then it really sings. Solid pick for the price range.

Celeste Moreno — Good but not quite worth the ask

7/10

I like what the Marsala cask brings here — raisins, stewed plums, a touch of nuttiness. But at £95 for a relatively unknown Edradour vintage I expected a bit more complexity on the finish. It fades quicker than I'd hoped. Decent dram, just not a rebuy for me.

Sara Lindstrom — Dessert in a glass

8/10

My partner and I split this bottle after dinner one night and it was perfect for the occasion. Rich treacle, plum jam, and baking spices with a long warming finish from the cask strength. Reminds me a bit of a good Oloroso-finished Highlands malt but with its own winey twist. Really enjoyable neat after a meal.

Zoe Chen — Marsala cask does the heavy lifting

8/10

Big sherry-adjacent sweetness from the Marsala finish — dried figs, dark chocolate, and a hint of blood orange. At 58.9% it's got serious punch but a splash of water opens up some lovely marzipan notes. Excellent independent bottling from Signatory.

Hannah Brooks — A bit one-dimensional honestly

6/10

The Marsala dominates everything here. Dried fruit, more dried fruit, hint of cocoa, then more dried fruit. I was hoping for some of that classic Highland malt character to come through but it's buried. Not bad by any means, just a bit samey sip after sip. Would've liked more balance for the money.
