GlenWyvis Berry Bros & Rudd The Auld And The Bold Single Cask #157 Whisky 7 Year Old · 2018 Vintage

In 2015, GlenWyvis became the first Scots distillery to be founded as a Social Enterprise, running for the good of the community. Set on a picturesque ridge at the foot of Ben Wyvis, the distillery utilises hydro, solar, and biomass energy in its production.

The nose opens with a medley of dried fruits, lifted by a cool whisper of menthol. On the palate, waves of dark chocolate intertwine with bright orange peel and the crunch of roasted nuts, all anchored by Glen Wyvis’ signature clean, cereal backbone. The cask has imparted fine-grained tannins to the dram, that frame the flavours, adding structure without veering into austerity. The finish lingers, carrying spiced fruits and a delicate dusting of cocoa.
