Edradour 35 Year Old 1989 Enigma No.1 Cask #355

Edradour 35 Year Old Enigma No. 1 is an exceptionally rare Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky released in 2025 to celebrate Edradour Distillery’s 200th anniversary. Distilled on 27 September 1989, it spent its entire 35-year maturation in a single first-fill Oloroso Sherry butt, Cask #355, stored in a traditional damp dunnage warehouse. Bottled on 2 July 2025 at its natural cask strength of 52.6% ABV, only 498 bottles were produced. This long Sherry maturation delivers an intensely mature profile of dried fruits, dark chocolate, walnuts, espresso, leather, orange and beautifully integrated old oak. 

Food Pairing: Dark chocolate, walnut cake, mature hard cheese, sticky toffee pudding, dried figs or roasted hazelnuts.

Tasting Notes: Deep, mature and Sherry-rich, combining concentrated dried fruit and dark chocolate with roasted nuts, coffee, treacle, leather and polished oak.

Nose: Dark chocolate, walnut cake and Sherry-soaked dates with dried figs, molasses, polished oak and warming spice.

Palate: Rich espresso and dark fruit with leather, orange peel, roasted hazelnuts, treacle and cinnamon.

Finish: Exceptionally long and warming with cocoa, walnuts, sticky dried fruit and beautifully integrated mature oak.

Serve: Enjoy neat and allow plenty of time for the whisky to develop in the glass. At 52.6% ABV, a few drops of water can gradually reveal additional dried fruit, chocolate and spice.
