Would I buy a bottle? Yes, was retailing around $70
Thoughts: Really a nice pour. Super dark and Edradour has a bit of a reputation for being over sherried, but I think this actually had a nice balance between all the fruit and malt. Both are heavy, but both are distinct. A touch hot though that bring it back down but given the cost, it was a hell of a value.
