Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы описывают этот виски как ярко выраженный шерри-релиз с тёмным шоколадом, сухофруктами, изюмом, мёдом, кожей и табаком, часто с долгим пряным финишем. Мнения расходятся: часть дегустаторов хвалит баланс и соотношение цены и качества, другие находят его слишком сладким, водянистым, алкогольным или отмечают спорные «грязные» и мыльные ноты.
развернуть подробно
В большинстве отзывов виски представлен как выраженный шерри-профиль с нотами тёмного шоколада, сухофруктов, изюма, сливы, мёда, карамели, кофе, орехов, ванили, кожи и табака, иногда с восковыми и древесными оттенками. Вкус нередко называют округлым, маслянистым и хорошо сбалансированным, а финиш — пряным и довольно долгим, хотя часть отзывов отмечает, что он теряет интенсивность или кажется слишком сухим и «деревянным». Некоторые подчёркивают, что виски не задушен шерри и сохраняет характер дистиллята, будучи неокрашенным и нефильтрованным холодом; его также хвалят за комплексность для 12-летнего возраста и удачное соотношение цены и качества, рекомендуя как знакомство с винокурней.
При этом восприятие заметно неоднородно. Часть дегустаторов отмечает «грязный» шерри-профиль с дрожжевыми, молочными и маслянистыми нотами, воспринимаемыми как приобретённый вкус, а также мясные, кожаные, резиновые, серные и мыльные оттенки. Критические отзывы указывают на слабую интенсивность, водянистость, плохо скрытый алкоголь, слишком сладкий или искусственный характер, плохой баланс в аромате, скрытый солодовый характер и общую одномерность или резкость. Встречаются и редкие негативные замечания о мыльной горечи и неприятных нотах, а также мнение, что высокие рейтинги завышены.

very tasty
Super sweet, fruity stone. Lots of dried fruit, sherry, raisins. A little spice. Cinnamon, wood, chili pungency. Basic whisky, but great. My favorite.
Edradour "Caledonia" 12 years, original bottling, 46% Expansion: Ex-sherry casks Region: Highlands, Scotland Nose: Forest honey and caramel, toffee, then sherry with fruity notes. Dates and overripe apples come to the fore, with some molasses and a nice portion of orange marmalade .... Palate: milk chocolate, sweet honey and candied apple, with mild coffee notes and tobacco. Slightly leathery. Finish. medium length and fruity with leathery aromas, some oak Conclusion: Often Edradour are described as "soapy" or very leathery, due to its complexity and the fruity / fresh variety you hardly notice these notes in "Caldeonia". A nice single malt with a great price / performance ratio 87/100 points (tasted 2014, price ca. 44,00 €) posted on my facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/notesofwhisky

Nose is special. Fruity, peach and orange, cocoa fantasy, milk chocolate, caramel with wood. There is less in the mouth and finish. Good in the mouth, but the finish is very dry and too wooden. Balance is therefore not optimal. Will be better if the bottle has been open for a while. Special profile. Only the finish leaves something to be desired.

нос 85 · вкус 87 · финиш 86
Dark on the nose and sherry fruity. Compared to the "independently" bottled 10-year-old less alcoholic and therefore rounder, more chocolatier and spicier, the teen note is missing. Meets my taste a little better. Relatively dry in the mouth, especially compared to the 10. Also a bit milder, but spicier. In the finish I find the association with black tea, also fermented fruits and espresso, everything in interplay. At first I don't find the soapy notes of the 10th. Length: 5/10 Nice spicy sherrymalt that is a tad more pleasing than its independent brother; More chocolatier and less soapy, it suits my taste a little better. Grade: 2

Edradour has got to have one of the most distinguishable distillery profiles out there. Once you know what butyric acid (/rancid butter) smells like, you can’t unsmell it. It’s in every single Edradour I’ve had so far, and naturally it’s a divisive note. I tend to appreciate it whenever I can taste a new Edradour, but so far it has prevented me from getting a full bottle for myself. This one fit’s right up that alley; I enjoyed my dram, and I’ll leave it at that.

| Нос | 84 | European oak/sherry profile + butyric acid. So sweet and spices, but also sour and somewhat rubbery, maybe some tobacco too. |
| Вкус | 85 | As the nose suggests, it’s a mouth coating dirty sherried dram. Dried fruits and spices, brown cake, rancid butter, Parmesan cheese, boiled orange, rubber. |
| Финиш | 84 | Medium finish, sweet and dirty. |
An absolute stunner for a 12-year-old. A 42-month finish in a sherry cask gives the impression of a fully matured sherry whisky in the glass. Harmonious, sweet, and pleasant. The alcohol is wonderfully integrated. Almost dangerously drinkable.
Dougie MacLean's Caledonia Selection The Scottish songwriter Dougie MacLean wrote in 1977 the song Caledonia, a song about his native Scotland. This drop is celebrated in Scotland and the song "Caledonia". The refrein of the song is printed on the label as well as on the tin Andrew Symington, the owner of Edradour, and Dougie MacLean have produced this whisky together.

A great "sherry bomb". Soft and harmonious, fruity yet slightly tart, leather and tobacco, chocolate and sweetness. I do not need more! I really like this Edradour!
Noses incredibly yeasty, musty, lactic, tending toward astringent sourness. An acquired taste, to be sure. The other component is high-quality, seemingly-older-than-its-stated-age, dark and dirty, sherry-matured spirit. Between the creamy citrus and the leathery oloroso aromas, you can detect the intriguing interplay of combined Bourbon and sherry maturation. Certainly not a shy nose, and big fun for those of us who aren't necessarily looking for a smooth and polished crowd pleaser without any potentially offensive notes. On the tongue the Caledonian shifts between sour and sweet, with clearly discernible European-oak prickliness. There's ample vanilla and citrus from the American oak as well as dry, nutty sherry notes. The lactic character from the nose persists into the taste. Funky, dirty, sour, very Edradour (hey, that rhymed!). Again: not for everyone, you have to be in the mood for this hardcore Highlander. Definitely a dram whose zany character boasts enough power for it to serve as a digestif that "stands its ground". This is peculiar and strong enough to overcome any aromas and tastes that may still linger after a long meal. An after-ten-pm kind of affair, if you will. Or a midnight malt? Glad I've bought it, but one bottle seems like enough for a lifetime.
When Ralfy scored this a generous 91 points he did so with the caveat that it was different and not for beginners. This seems to be reflected in the spread of scores here on WB which depict an especially wide bell curve. Without water the nose is overly dense, the sherry influence is already there but it is not particularly impressive. Ralfy added two full teaspoons of water to his dram and indeed a generous addition of water opens this whisky up immensely. The sherry springs to life with a very fine, dried fruit flavour, with no hint of syrup or too many raisins. The palate also reflects a very fine sherry flavour along with some hints of breads and particularly some lapsang souchong in the background. I am no fan of sulfur but this is very slight. I'm not sure I can follow Ralfy in calling this a masterpiece but I do find it to be a rather enjoyable sherried whisky.
Good, interesting piece of sweeter character. Chocolate sweetness prevails. Nice thing, I recommend.

Hardcore sherry cask maturation is not exactly my preference, but this one hits home for me, even if the malt is quite buried (but not inexistent). Had the malt asserted itself more (especially on the palate where I like my maltiness), this would probably be on the 88-mark. Yes, it is quite expensive for a 12-year old OB, but then again you are getting craft production and outcome that is widely available. The casks are obviously carefully picked out. Honest but also dirty, non-over-sanatized casks with a wacky spirit in them, pretty unique and divisive. Both the bully and the intelectual. Top OB in the game for me.

Sherry sweetness mixed in with a unique, waxy, character. Very well balanced and consistent throughout. Not to my taste - yet - but unique in a way that warrants a following.
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 85 | Pleasant and not overpowering, surprisingly mild. Cured tobacco and candle wax, with a touch of salinity at the back. Reaching further, dates and the odd cherry give way to a honeyed core. Notes of cinnamon and nutmeg: it's a Christmas pudding-scented candle. |
| Вкус | 85 | The wax comes through into the mouthfeel: it coats the mouth entirely, pleasantly, without feeling oily. Black tea - unsmoked lapsang - comes to mind. Treacle and honey. Fruits in the nose begin to dry out and fade: an occasional raisin, dried prune. Old wood takes over the background with some accompanying bitterness- 85% dark chocolate, maybe 90%. A hint of ethanol nearest the finish. |
| Финиш | 83 | Medium to long with a touch of dryness. Here, the sherry comes through most clearly as it fades into a long treacle sweetness, with notes of raisins, cinnamon, and nutmeg returning quietly at the end. |
A sizzling, alcoholic, somewhat harsh but tart, endowed with a pleasant American oakiness that veers slightly into umami and a barely noticeable sherry note - a beautiful, albeit muted, statement with many "buts"
The rubber is a distraction, but not offensive. A very drinkable dram
Must have been some hell of casks. Hard to believe what powerful oak this whisky got. Way better than the 10yo Edradour.

Great, strong sherry whisky, the barrel combines well with the Brennereicharakter and kleistern it not easy, which is worth its 50 €.
Do not convince me, especially not in the nose. Acts badly balanced. Only in the mouth he can score something. Notes from a blind tasting.
Tasted from a sample bottle
Aroma: perfumery, berry jelly, exotic (and not very) dried fruits - dates, dried apricots, figs, raisins, with a little sourness; roasted walnut, lacquered old furniture. Taste: red pepper, compote, grape pulp with bone, burnt caramel, nuts, tobacco leaf, dark chocolate, Riga Balsam. Finish: medium duration, again nut-tobacco with the end of the grass bitter, quite pleasant. Rating: 86 The result: a very interesting representative of Highland, with a rich taste, aroma and finish, in which the sherry barrel does not pull the blanket over itself, but successfully complements the base.
The 83 points here do this whisky wrong imo. But with 700 Votes there may be lots of cognac or rum fans voting too. N: lovely oranges, apples, honey, chocolate ( medium dark), some spices and roasted nuts it's all embedded in the typical Edradour notes: to me Old house, leather , tobacco, somehow earthy but not as intense as in other Edradour bottles) very balanced. M/ D: starts sweet honey then apples and vanilla, coffe, notes, milk chocolate..slight sour (sour berries) and saltiness... nice mouthfeel great consistency alcohol perfectly Integrated. F: Vanilla, old wood, spices ,ginger/pepper medium bitter and dry ( oak) - some berries coming back :) finish medium to long. For a standard 12 that is constantly available I don't know any better if you like sherry layered whisky. It has some edges of course that not everyone seems to like - I do it's subjective and maybe it's good that it's not so mainstream ;)...for people who haven't tried this it's profile is best described as something between a mild Speyside malt and a Springbank malt - if you don't like this stay away from Springbank ( please stay away from Springbank). And BTW it takes water very well ( not too much) and time will also reward you.

Quite an atypical whisky for me but I like it. It’s quite changing with it’s sweet savory character. At one moment it’s almost to sweet and than the savory tones of herb and cured ham come in and bring you to the salty side of this dram. It has quite an creamy mouthfeel and the well known soapiness of Edradour is present but subtle and marines well with the rest of the flavours. Al in all a very interesting and pleasant dram to sip. http://www.worldwhisky.nl/review-419-edradour-12-year-caledonia/

A pleasant young sherry mole, a little sagging aroma, very clenched and weakly concealed in development, but the taste / finish is very cute and well cut - a fairly spicy and saturated for its strength whisky, sherry drums very carefully treated the base, it was the combination of two principles that showed the best sides of both.
So this whisky is often underestimated. I was about to forget him too. Had the 15 blind me. Thanks to “Witsche” for the input. Here you get high average for a fair price. Well balanced like the PLV, it then goes into the last round. He persevered ... respect!
Not as "great" as pure sherry whiskys that have spent all their time in sherry barrels when compared to sherry whiskys. Instead, he has his own identity that sets him apart from others who only go in one direction. Legs type "Jack of many trades".

The glass reveals a thick and strong aroma. Yep, this is a sherry whisky with a strangely interesting aroma that clouds spectacularly into a glass after a drop of water - promising. The aroma smells like winey berries, ginger, chocolate, oranges, honey, vanilla, yeast, some bread, and a hint of licorice. There's a lot of small hints of different aromas that I can't quite seem to grasp. The same soft chocolate, orange, and cinnamon continue in the palette, and the aftertaste does not have the slightest hint of smoke or peat. The mere fruitiness carries surprisingly far, and gives a good opportunity to focus on it without smoke and peat. 86 points.
Loved it... Bit dirty bit sulphury very much edradour out of a sherry cask! Reasonable value too. +1 for ABCDV!
Tasted again in 2023, it honestly doesn't knock my socks off. I love Edradour and don't think the distillery shines here. It is very good compared to many others, but I especially like the Edradour Single Cask CS bottlings much more. 86/100.
A real sherry bomb, it's a shame I didn't have more than 30 ml to experiment with. Wonderful, although it doesn't have my beloved peat, it is a beautiful example of sherry. Pleasant, different from what you expect from a whisky, but what’s not to love?

| Нос | 89 | Big and diffusive, shaped by the spirit sulphur driving it out the glass. It’s a dry, elegant style of sherry – there are no youthful red fruit or sour notes, it’s all very classic and thoroughly oxidised. The coastal salinity is odd, Edradour being bang in the middle of Scotland – but that’s the sherry as well. |
| Вкус | 87 | Dry, a little oily. Less complex and refined than the nose (again, this can be the case with sherried whiskies), with a warming punch throughout the palate. Fresh, with red and yellow fruit, spices, petrol again, ginger biscuits dipped in dark chocolate. |

That was one of my favorite 2012 ;-) That's why my high rating is somewhat relativized. But even today a nice Edradour, which is not crushed by sherry and bursts for the Brennereicharakter leaves. Uncolored & unchillfiltered!

I had some doubts in the beginning, but the malt developed nicely in the open bottle. Especially with a dash of water it shows a nice interplay between the high quality sherry (and wine?) casks with the fruity and full-bodied distillate. Definitely one of the best current standard Edradours.

Plums, soap, dark caramel, black and white pepper, and some mashed bananas. It is a comfortable, "cushy" (chewy/soft), pleasant, easy-going, dram.

| Нос | 87 | Coffee, brown sugar, banoffee, a little nutty, dark dried fruits. Mixed with the sensation of alcohol on the nose it puts me in mind of a nice belgian double. Also a lactic touch, along the lines of waxy, aged hard cheese. |
| Вкус | 88 | Brown sugar, banoffee, dried fruits, chocolate fudge, maraschino cherries, waxy aged cheese and some coffee (not as much as on the nose). Also, brownies and orange marmelade. Big flavours, but well rounded. Oily on the palate. The cheese note just becomes more and more apparent, but works very well here (but then, I love cheese). Very nice! |
| Финиш | 88 | Very long, on banoffee, brown sugar and coffee. Undeniable quality and a must-try if you like your whiskies characterful or are into your sherry bombs. Even more so if you also like belgian doubles and/or cheese. |

A smooth, craft presented whisky that can be said to be a sherry bomb rather than a sherry-forward, a tasteful, complex and smooth whisky. An old fashioned whisky. Although it is angular, it makes you love it. Although it is a bit tiring, it does not cool you down. When it comes to the price, while the 70€ side can be considered a very reasonable and correct pricing, 100€ can be a price that pushes the limits. Price performance: Good-Medium high Would I buy it again?: Probably yes.

The aftertaste is a bit weak.

N&T 12/23/2018 from (https://classicdram.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=101783#p101783) Conclusions: A decent sherry whisky, but nothing more. Not all stages are created equal. For example, I consider the taste to be the most successful part, where there's a little bit of everything, but it's well-balanced. The aroma is clearly overwhelmed by mash notes, and the finish quickly loses its intensity. On the other hand, the Caledonia shows signs of a certain complexity and at least some individuality, which is rare in regular 12-year-olds. Score: 83.

Very good whisky with a great price / performance ratio! Mild and long in the taste.

Overall, a solid, fruity-spicy and pleasantly sweet malt. Good flavors, albeit nothing outstanding or very complex. Complicated, tasty standard.

Quite a nice malt. Very voluminous in smell and taste, it unfortunately loses its expressiveness in the finish.
