A Secret Speyside Distillery 18 Years Old - Crafted In Cask [Single Cask / Berry Bros & Rudd] Distilled 2007 - Bottled 2025 - Puncheon & Marsala Cask Finish #13915 - 305 btl. - 63.2% abv.
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.
TASTING NOTES:
The nose brims with cherry compôte, raisins, and dark honey, underpinned by brown sugar and fig syrup. The Marsala cask influence brings a rich depth of baked fruit, warm spice, and a hint of candied orange peel. The palate is thick and luxurious, layering dates and stewed fruits with an intense, almost treacle like sweetness. A touch of water softens its edges, revealing creamy vanilla and a velvety texture. The finish leaves echoes of spiced syrup and dried fruit lingering on the tongue. A powerful dram bursting with flavour, best enjoyed with a wee splash of water.
