Undisclosed Islay Berry Bros & Rudd - Crafted In Cask Single Oloroso Sherry Cask #10009 Whisky 18 Year Old · 2007 Vintage

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.
