Tasting Notes

Nose Black cherries, ripe plums and dark berries with cocoa, sweet malt, redcurrants and warming wine spice.

Finish Long and warming, with lingering dark fruit, cocoa, spice, sweet oak and a softly drying red wine character.

Edradour No.2 8 Year Old Châteauneuf-du-Pape Andrew Symington 40th Anniversary Release is a special Highland single malt Scotch whisky created to celebrate Andrew Symington’s 40 years in the whisky industry. His career began in 1986, and this commemorative bottling marks four decades in whisky with an unusual wine-matured expression from Edradour No.2. Matured in first-fill Châteauneuf-du-Pape hogsheads and bottled in 2026 at 57.1% ABV, it offers a bold combination of rich Highland malt and expressive French red wine cask character. This 8 year old release forms one half of a special anniversary pairing alongside an Edradour No.1 6 Year Old PX Sherry bottling. Drawn respectively from Edradour No.2 and the original Edradour distillery, the two whiskies offer a fascinating opportunity to compare the character of each production stream side by side, while also exploring two very different styles of cask maturation. The first-fill Châteauneuf-du-Pape hogsheads bring layers of dark berries, ripe plum, black cherry and warming spice to Edradour’s naturally rich and weighty spirit. Notes of chocolate, sweet malt and red fruits build through the palate, while the wine casks contribute gentle tannins and savoury depth. Bottled at 57.1% ABV, this is a powerful and distinctive Edradour with plenty of concentration and character.

The Distillery

Fondée en 1825 par huit agriculteurs locaux, la distillerie Edradour est l'une des plus petites et des plus charmantes distilleries de whisky single malt écossais. Située à Milton of Edradour, près de Pitlochry, cette distillerie à taille humaine a su préserver son caractère traditionnel. Elle est équipée d'un réfrigérateur Morton pour refroidir le moût et de deux alambics intimistes où l'alcool est refroidi dans un unique serpentin. Propriété de Signatory Vintage, Edradour demeure un joyau parmi les petites distilleries écossaises, réputée pour son approche artisanale et ses whiskies uniques. Tout en conservant son charme pittoresque, Signatory Vintage a agrandi la distillerie et augmenté sa production avec la construction d'« Edradour 2 », ajoutant de nouveaux alambics et une capacité accrue, garantissant ainsi la production continue de whiskies de grande qualité. Parmi les cuvées officielles d'Edradour figurent le prestigieux Edradour 10 ans d'âge, ainsi que les exquises carafes Ibisco vieillies en fûts de Barolo et de Sherry, témoignant chacune de l'engagement de la distillerie envers l'excellence et la tradition. Que vous soyez un amateur de whisky chevronné ou un néophyte curieux, la distillerie Edradour offre une expérience unique et authentique du whisky écossais, qui rend hommage à son riche héritage et à son savoir-faire.
