Collections

At Berry Bros. & Rudd, we bring together people with a shared passion for exceptional and unique spirits.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our fourth spirits collection of twenty single cask whiskies connected by a mutual influence to form an ‘Odyssey’.

The 2026 Odyssey collection - The Auld and the Bold - is a celebration of the dialogue between Scotland's great whisky traditions and a new generation of distillers redefining the category around the world. Comprising 20 single-cask whiskies, rums and a cognac, The Auld and the Bold explores how whisky traditions have travelled beyond Scotland, inspiring producers across the globe while continuing to shape some of the country's most revered distilleries.

 
 

The Scottish whiskies in this release showcase the remarkable breadth of Scotch. From the waxy, time-honoured elegance of Glenlossie 1975 to the fruit-laden character of Glencadam and Blair Athol, finished in an unusual Viognier cask, the collection highlights the diversity of styles found across Scotland. Rich sherry influence shines through Longmorn, Glen Garioch and Tamdhu, while Caol Ila, Williamson and Ruadh Mhor offer distinct expressions of peat and smoke. Together, these casks showcase the patience, provenance and generational expertise that remain at the heart of great Scotch whisky.

Beyond Scotland, the collection shines a light on a new generation of whisky makers inspired by Scotch tradition yet shaped by their own landscapes and climates. Australia's Lark delivers remarkable depth through Tawny cask maturation, India's Paul John marries Scottish peat with tropical ageing, while New Zealand's Thomson brings distinctive Manuka-smoked character to the fore. England's Spirit of Yorkshire demonstrates the evolution of English single malt, offering a vibrant, fruit-driven style rooted in place and craftsmanship.

Denmark's Thy and Finland's Teerenpeli similarly draw on traditional Scotch whisky-making techniques while expressing them through local barley, climate and maturation. Together, these whiskies capture a global whisky renaissance: rooted in Scottish tradition, yet shaped by distinctive terroirs, innovative production and a confident sense of place.

Three Caribbean rums join the collection, highlighting the category's extraordinary diversity. From Foursquare's refined tropical character and Diamond's vibrant fruit profile to the legendary intensity of Caroni, the selection showcases some of the world's most sought-after rum styles. Completing the release is a 35-year-old early-landed Cognac from Frapin, distilled in France, matured in the UK, and bottled at natural cask-strength.
