Berry Bros & Rudd Speyside Traditional Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 16 Year Old
In stock
Distilled in Speyside, a small region in the middle of Scotland, famous for its whisky production. The spirit was selected for its Nutty & Fruity style, making it the perfect match for long maturation in the finest Traditional whisky casks, delivering a delicate Balance & Sweetness.
The nose presents a blend of butterscotch and hazelnut, with subtle hints of dried flowers and wood bark, which introduce a touch of earthiness and complexity. On the palate a honeyed sweetness creates an effortlessly enjoyable sipping experience, gradually evolving to reveal an ever deepening character. A complex yet approachable whisky, perfect for those who appreciate depth and refinement.
"For me, there is no better marriage of spirit and wood than a well-aged Speyside whisky laid down in a traditional style of cask. This whisky isn't crafted with overpowering wood influences, nor is it adorned with peat and smoke. It is an honest whisky whose complexity and texture has evolved with one key ingredient… time! To me, it is a shining example of why Speyside is so highly regarded globally. Even though I have a fondness for peat and cask, there is joy in celebrating the traditional." - Joe Whittaker, BB&R Spirits Global Brand Ambassador, Berry Bros. & Rudd.
