Coming Soon - 1989 Edradour 200th Anniversary 35 Year Old Enigma 2 Sherry Cask #368 Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Edradour's founder, Andrew Symington made a lot of very astute purchases when he started Signatory Vintage back in 1988. Most of those were aligned with his personal preference for the deepest, darkest sherry bombs money could buy. At the time, he was procuring a bunch of first rate casks for releases down the track. That time has now come. Two venerable whiskies, and arguably the highlights of Edradour’s 200th anniversary collection are Enigma 1 & Enigma 2, representing the inaugural editions in the luxe series. Both are blockbuster malts displaying amazing colour saturation. The latter (Cask #368) spent all its life in a modern concrete warehouse (partly underground with air circulated round it 24 hours a day). These conditions resulted in a lower outturn than Enigma 1, but in a whisky with greater alcoholic strength. 379 bottles were drawn from the first-fill butt, the liquid infused with rich, dark dried fruit, chocolate and coffee flavours. Both gems come suitably packaged in a presentation case accompanied by two crystal cut Glencairn glasses. 62.3% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
