is it an independent or distillery bottling?

certainly a unique product but not sure if eradour is a big enough brand to be really really popular but you never know!

at 36 pounds it represents little risk and a nice dram if you dont sell it!

That is certainly a good price as you would be hard pushed to find this under Â£50 in mosy whisky shops. I cant see it making you a fortune but you may make a few pound if you tuck it away for a few years.

Dont forget the prices you see in a shop is not the price you will pay in a private sale or at auction. For example in 5 - 10 years time this botlle may be selling for Â£80 - Â£100 in a whisky specialist shop but may only fetch not much more than half that price in a private sale. The more iconic whisky brands tend to fetch closer to the prices you see in shops.

just found some info on the distillsry Edradour is perhaps best known as Scotland's smallest distillery, producing a mere 90,000 litres per annum with a work force of just three
sounds quite cool to me
im going to get 4 bottle and drink 1 may be 2 if its nice Laughing

any whisky i have tried from Edradour has been at best OK IMHO and i dont think it is rated very highly by many whisky drinkers. Personally i would buy one bottle and try it first if you plan on drinking them.

I have found Edradour whisky a bit hit and miss, they have made some good stuff but also some poor stuff. Not a whisky i would pick up now.

if i like it i might take the chance and hide a bottle or 2 away if they dont sell can alway drink them Top Malt
