Berry Bros. & Rudd

Undisclosed Islay 2007 Cask #10009

ABV: 55.5% 70 cL

Occasionally Berry Bros. & Rudd come across a cask of whisky that for various reasons they are unable to disclose the origins of. While they try to avoid this scenario, some casks are just too good to pass by, and this undisclosed Islay is one such example of this. 

Aged for 18 years in a Butt, and finished in an Oloroso Sherry cask, this robust peated malt from the Queen of the Hebrides is a bold yet balanced dram, where peat and Oloroso richness entwine. Bottled at natural cask strength of 55.5% ABV, and without artificial colouring or chill filtration. Only 667 bottles have been produced.

Nose

Ashy smoke swirls around dried fruits.

Palate

Figs, raisins, and spiced dates give 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.

Finish

A light dusting of icing sugar flits across the palate, offering contrast before the smoke reasserts itself in a long, smouldering finish.
