Comments:

Cask #561 - an unofficial official bottling, as Signatory owns Edradour. Mint and chocolate - very easy to recognise where it was distilled. The finish is bitter, and salty, but still quite complex. The sherry butt did a good job here, enhancing the sweet elements while softening some of the harsh edges.

Verdict:

I like this.
