This single cask bottling of an 18-year-old Edradour single malt, released as an original distillery bottling, was produced specifically for Helgoland Travel Retail as the 1997 Vintage Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish. The whisky was distilled in 1997, matured in hogsheads, finished for more than 10 years in an ex-Oloroso sherry butt, and bottled in 2016 in a run of 698 bottles.
Edradour (Gaelic for between two waters) is located east of Pitlochry and was for a long time the smallest whisky distillery in Scotland (it was expanded in February 2018). Whisky has been produced since 1823, the first bottling as a single malt took place in 1986, and since 2002 the distillery has belonged to the independent Scottish bottler Signatory. The distillery was extensively expanded and enlarged in 2014-2018.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
