Williamson Berry Bros & Rudd The Auld And The Bold Single Cask #875032 Whisky 15 Year Old · 2010 Vintage
In stock
The small Hebridean island of Islay is famous for heavily peat-smoke flavoured malt whiskies. This expression is bottled under the name Williamson, a nod to Bessie Williamson, the owner and manager of a certain distillery on Islay's south coast in the mid 20th Century.
A distillate-driven dram, barely marked by its 15 years in oak, allowing Williamson’s modern style to sing in full voice. The nose brims with camphor, iodine and brine, lifted by seaweed and citrus peel through a veil of coal smoke. On the palate, smoked meats, green olives and a splash of seawater roll in, joined by a mineral whisper of chalk. A whisky deeply rooted in the place that birthed it, and a a fine study in coastal clarity and intensity.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden amber with warm copper highlights, a sunlit, honeyed glow that hints at coastal warmth and depth.
Nose
Camphor, iodine and brine lead the coastal aroma, with seaweed and citrus peel brightening the mix. A veil of coal smoke threads through, adding depth without heaviness, while mineral salt and seawater brightness keep it crisp and maritime, promising true Islay character.
Palate
Smoked meats, green olives and a splash of seawater roll across the palate, joined by a mineral whisper of chalk. A maritime brightness lingers, delivering a clean, coastal finish.
Finish
Long maritime finish, peat smoke persists with iodine and brine, fading into a chalky mineral dryness. Sea spray, olive notes and a faint citrus zest linger, leaving a clean, coastal echo that gradually fades with a refined, smoky memory.
