An Undisclosed Islay Distillery 18Y (2007-2025) Butt & Pedro Ximenez Sherry Cask Finish 56.0 SC Crafted In Cask "Berry Bros & Rudd"

Very occasionally Berry Bros & Rudd come across a cask of whisky that for various reasons we are unable to disclose the origins of, and whilst we would 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:

Thick, brooding Pedro Ximénez richness greets the nose - dark hedgerow fruits, sticky raisins, and golden syrup - deepened by a savoury edge of cooked meat. The palate unfolds in layers: first, syrupy sweetness, then a wave of ashy coal embers rolling in. Roasted nutmeg adds warmth, while fleeting herbal notes offer a flicker of freshness before fading into the background. The finish is long and smouldering, where treacle, tobacco leaf, and glowing embers gently linger.
