Williamson Berry Bros & Rudd - Single Hogshead Cask Whisky 8 Year Old · 2015 Vintage
Out of stock
This feisty Islay whisky surges from the glass on a gale of sooty peat, turf, iodine and lanolin oils. Herein lies great complexity, unlocked by a teaspoon or so of water and a little time. Those with patience are rewarded with rich farmyard aromas, smoked hay, damp earth and kippers. The palate follows this theme, flowing from pure turf smoke to dark orange chocolate and composting fruit. Smoke and spice flow in waves on the long finish.

Finish
Long, evolving finish fed by peat smoke and spice, rolling in waves. Iodine and maritime tang linger as the warmth gradually fades, leaving a persistent, smoky-spicy echo on the palate.
