Edradour 2011 Single Sherry Cask #226 / Precious Liquors - Hiroyuki Matsuura

Volume: 700ml / ABV: 57.2%

For a long time Edradour was Scotland's smallest distillery. Owned by William Whitely for much of the 20th century, it contributed malt for their King's Ransom blend, which had developed a strong sales network in the US with dubious Mafia boss, Frank Costello, as its representative. The distillery was eventually sold to Campbell Distillers in 1982, who opened it up to visitors and bottled its first official single malt in 1986. Despite its small size, the distillery has always found itself interested parties, with independent bottlers-turned-distillers, Signatory Vintage, purchasing it in 2002 when it was deemed surplus to requirements by Campbell Distillers parent firm, Pernod-Ricard.

This whisky was distilled in 2011 and aged in single first-fill ex-Sherry butt #226. It was bottled at cask strength in 2021.

The bottle features artwork by Hiroyuki Matsuura (b.1961) works include a wide variety of media such as animation, graffiti, graphic design, painting, and sculpture.
