Production of the 12 Years Old Caledonia Selection from Edradour

The 12 Years Old Caledonia Selection is produced using traditional methods that guarantee high quality. The ingredients used are based on the finest barley malts. These high-quality raw materials are processed in special maltings that emphasize the full aroma and rich flavors. Fermentation takes place in open washbacks, which further enhances the character of the spirit.

Distillation takes place in a classic copper pot still, which forms the heart of the Edradour distillery. The slow process enables a precise separation of aromas and the development of the full flavor. The whisky then matures for twelve years in carefully selected oak casks that were previously used for storing sherry. This maturation gives the whisky an additional subtle fruitiness and complexity.
