Berry Bros & Rudd have proud history in supplying Blended Whisky dating back to the 19th Century. While our most notable Blend may have been Cutty Sark introduced in 1923, over the years they've put together many different Blended Whiskies.

Tasting Notes:

This sublime blend dances out of the glass: aromas of coconut and warm gorse flowers interweave with melting butter and honeyed toast - truly mouth-watering.

The palate is at once vibrant and vast, with notes of mango, delicate hemp, wood polish, beeswax and spiced fruit, all rolling around the mouth.

The finish offers more fruit, orange and lychee. An exceptionally complex and ever-evolving glass of whisky; if Tolstoy made whisky, it would taste like this.
