Undisclosed Islay Berry Bros & Rudd - Crafted In Cask Single Oloroso Sherry Cask #10009 Whisky 18 Year Old · 2007 Vintage
In stock
Very occasionally Berry Bros & Rudd come across a cask of whisky that for various reasons, are unable to disclose the distillery. Whilst BB&R usually try to avoid this scenario, some casks are just too good to pass by; one such example is this robust peated malt from the Queen of the Hebrides.
Tasting Notes:
Ashy smoke swirls around dried fruits; figs, raisins, and spiced dates, before giving way to a rich nuttiness of almonds, hazelnuts, and nutmeg.The sherry influence brings depth, its sweetness tempered by a subtle earthiness of tobacco leaf. A light dusting of icing sugar flits across the palate, offering contrast before the smoke reasserts itself in a long, smouldering finish. A bold yet balanced dram, where peat and Oloroso richness entwine.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Dark amber with copper-gold glints and a mahogany edge, a rich tawny glow that hints at the Oloroso sherry influence.
Nose
An ashy, maritime smoke swirls over a tapestry of dried fruits—figs, raisins and spiced dates—giving way to nutty whispers of almonds and hazelnuts. The Oloroso sherry adds velvet sweetness tempered by earthy tobacco leaf, with a delicate hint of icing sugar in the air.
Palate
Ashy smoke fuses with dried figs, raisins and spiced dates, giving way to a nutty core of almonds and hazelnuts with a hint of nutmeg. Sherry depth adds sweetness tempered by a tobacco-earthiness. A light dusting of icing sugar crosses the palate before the smoke returns in a long, smouldering finish, where peat and Oloroso richness entwine in bold, balanced harmony.
Finish
Long, smouldering finish where peat smoke lingers, entwined with rich Oloroso and a subtle tobacco-earth note. The warmth stays, reasserting itself in a bold, lingering echo.
