Edradour 10 year

Swiss Air Club in ZRH has a whiskey bar, I asked for something chewy I probably had never had.... Edradour 10... I see its under $60 a bottle in Chicago.

Almonds, creamy, pepper, not terribly smokey, almost minty for a bit, very long, mellow, evolving finish. Did I mention creamy?

I need to get me a bottle of this

An archetypal Perthshire malt from a tiny distillery, which has recently begun to market quite an array of releases. It's been some time since I sampled the 10-year old, but I know I liked it.

I was impressed

Funny as hell a guy came in and said "I don't drink whiskey but you're a whiskey bar, give me some whiskey to try"

They gave him a small dram of one they said was floral and light and not hot and he about puked.

I wonder what that whiskey was?

I joked they should have given him Ardbeg

I am a mean awful person

That likely would have bogged him down.

don't get why someone who states loudly they don't like whiskey tries whiskey, but what the hell do I know?
