We talk to the team at Penderyn Distillery - What’s next for Penderyn? We have recently opened our second distillery in Llandudno in North Wales, utilising another Faraday still, but using peated barley for the first time. It’s going to be really interesting to see how that spirit develops and matures over the next years. And then, because we don’t do things by halves, we are opening our third distillery in Swansea’s old copper quarter this year. And again, although we’ll be using a Faraday still at that site, we’ll also be looking to make some more experimental whiskies as well. Lots of exciting stuff to come! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/e3fdd0a9-5167-4d63-905f-d842340180db/berry-bros-%26-rudd-spirits-blog-penderyn-blueprint.jpg Blog - We talk to the team at Penderyn Distillery - Are you running/planning to run any experiments regarding other grains, either modern strains, or heritage varieties? We are not currently experimenting with our barley too much as there are so many other factors that we can tweak to see how it affects the whisky. However, a few years back, we did use exclusively Welsh barley for a short period. In the end, it was deemed unsustainable as there just wasn’t enough for us to keep producing. Turns out it rains too much in Wales, and it isn’t too good for the barley. Once we have a new distillery, in Swansea’s old copper quarter for example, perhaps it’s something we could experiment with at that site… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/e7be333f-abab-483f-b5d4-d502d7fe8d27/berry-bros-%26-rudd-spirits-blog-penderyn-distillery-4.jpg Blog - We talk to the team at Penderyn Distillery - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/ccb1a154-7284-48a2-bd8b-70902d5dbfc0/berry-bros-%26-rudd-spirits-blog-penderyn-distillery-1.jpg Blog - We talk to the team at Penderyn Distillery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/c1b7a847-822f-42b0-a98e-30c547c9f6d8/berry-bros-%26-rudd-spirits-blog-penderyn-whisky.jpg Blog - We talk to the team at Penderyn Distillery - How would you describe your new make style? The style of the Penderyn spirit tends to be very light and delicate. Fruity also, due to longer fermentation times, which is then accentuated with barrel aging. And despite being light, the style is very distinctive. We often hear people saying they could pick Penderyn out in a blind tasting and that the style runs through the entire range, no matter the barrel type. Of course, we need to be very careful with maturation and cask management when aging such a delicate spirit, because we would never want to lose that style. It’s what makes Penderyn Penderyn! https://bbrspirits.com/home daily 1.0 2025-09-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/fb732755-91ff-4c32-b692-4d998d3161c9/Group+07-UK+Red+Glass+Portrait.jpg Home - Announcing our Crafted in Cask Collection We are thrilled to announce the launch of our third spirits collection of twenty single cask whiskies connected by a mutual influence to form an ‘Odyssey’. The 2025 Odyssey collection, titled ‘Crafted in Cask’, celebrates the journey these remarkable whiskies undergo in cask. Made possible by relationships nurtured over generations, carefully selected casks from some of Scotland’s finest distilleries have been re-racked by Berry Bros. & Rudd for a secondary maturation of at least three years in complementary casks, each specifically chosen to shape and deepen the profile of the individual whisky CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT MORE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1624361766809-5REBNBW4JOKT5QK7EMR6/image-asset.octet-stream Home - Belgrade 2 Theatre Coventry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/19ddb0bc-fc75-4471-b036-37f396cde959/Group+12-Swirl+Landscape.jpg Home https://bbrspirits.com/our-spirits/single-cask-whiskies/lochindaal daily 0.75 2022-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1625581765789-N05Q1I050WSA6REWBCGF/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-single-cask-whiskies-and-rum-lochindaal-bottle-1.jpg Lochindaal - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production.

It immediately makes itself known throwing a myriad of aromas out of the glass: peat smoke, vanilla pods, camphor, cloves, damp wool and fireworks all come to mind. The palate is equally powerful with waves of fruit, spice and peat smoke all fighting for prominence. Flavours of bonfire ash, paraffin, lime juice and gingerbread all pop out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1625583266073-2R03A9MYVB1X0XYJ07IZ/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-single-cask-whiskies-and-rum-sutherland-expert-doug-mcivor.jpg Lochindaal - Doug McIvor “I recall standing on the harbour wall at Bowmore with James McEwan who was manager there at the time. With a glint in his eye, he pointed across the bay to Bruichladdich and told me he would love to work his magic there. That was 30 years ago. Lochindaal was one of his many outstanding creations during his tenure at Bruichladdich.” https://bbrspirits.com/our-experts daily 0.75 2025-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1625230352738-QTSYLCFQNWT6NCZMRMXH/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-single-cask-whiskies-and-rum-lark-distillery-expert-ronnie-cox.jpg Our Experts - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1634204630379-5L5I6C3RCR5RF7OSZB2R/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-our-experts-rob-whitehead-opt.jpg Our Experts - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/9adf4938-6e20-4ee6-a879-ab8a844f6dc7/Felix-Dear-headshots-21.jpg Our Experts - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://bbrspirits.com/about-us daily 0.75 2025-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1625562158028-WTO8V69KQWZQLJZHW0P9/berry-bros-%26-rudd-spirits-about-us-3-centuries-of-tradition.jpg About Us - Three Centuries of Tradition We can trace our history back to 1698, when an enterprising woman called the Widow Bourne started an “Italian grocer’s” at No.3 St James’s Street, selling tea, snuff, spices and the most fashionable drink of the day, coffee. In due course, our focus shifted to something a little bit stronger. As wine became important to the business, so too did spirits, and we started bottling casks under our label in the early 19th century, making us Britain’s oldest independent spirits bottler. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1625157103935-0PXGNCVAO66R6IL5AQWR/berry-bros-%26-rudd-spirits-about-us-life-%26-style.jpg About Us - Our Life & Style Since 1698 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

This initial smokiness gently gives way to reveal fruity undertones, marked by the distinctive aroma of green orchard fruits. This interplay of flavours is further enriched by the natural sweetness of honeydew melon, coupled with comforting, sweet notes of malted barley. As you savour each sip, a weave of dried earthy tones emerges, capturing the spirit of the land from which it was born. The experience lingers with a mid-long finish, where the initial smokiness gently fades, leaving behind a memorable trail of fruity sweetness and crisp, dry earth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1624548565659-SP3Z4OCLQIAG1O7LQ1YZ/ISLE-OF-ARRAN-DISTILLERY-mono.jpg Islay Traditional Cask - Distillery Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky.

Her early vision was such that she predicted the surge in popularity of single malts, particularly strongly peated gems such as this fine Islay which we finished in a Guyanan rum barrel.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1625226511746-33MSN7D5DT62UQ7DW7IX/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-single-cask-whiskies-and-rum-williamson-flavour-wheel.jpg Williamson - Tasting Notes This Williamson Islay whisky was re-racked into an ex-Guyana rum barrel for 12 months. No matter how powerful the wood, nothing tempers the aggressive peat smoke that leaps out of this glass. A little time, however, shows a more complex picture of wine gums, ash and treacle, with a touch of camphor oil. The palate is exceptionally powerful, the high alcohol content integrating nicely with fierce smoke, and some high ester fruity notes appearing from the rum. A pleasingly idiosyncratic whisky; if you have the opportunity and stamina, it is best paired with the Guyana rum. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1624548565659-SP3Z4OCLQIAG1O7LQ1YZ/ISLE-OF-ARRAN-DISTILLERY-mono.jpg Williamson - Distillery Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky.

No more clues, I don’t want to let the wildcat out of the bag…” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1625227096844-FOL9U8HDZOK9JGR0B731/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-single-cask-whiskies-and-rum-sutherland-flavour-wheel.jpg Sutherland - Tasting Notes This enigmatic Highlander gives strong hints of it’s origin with powerful aromas of floral honey, antique furniture and fruit gums, suggesting the trademark waxiness of a certain famed distillery. The palate is wonderfully viscous, with the texture integrating perfectly with notes of warm honey, tarte tatin, almonds and pleasing hints of beeswax. The finish gives a passing note of wood smoke, before some spiciness and tobacco leaves appears toward the finish. An exquisite Highland whisky deserving of a quiet evening to enjoy it’s company. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1624548565659-SP3Z4OCLQIAG1O7LQ1YZ/ISLE-OF-ARRAN-DISTILLERY-mono.jpg Sutherland - Distillery Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky.

It is fascinating here to see the chewier fruitier Guyana spirit taking hints of fireplace and graphite whilst still proudly declaring its luscious Demerara origins. Drink with pecan pie, or treacle tart... something goo-ey!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1625228527038-U36UF90ZGOULCIA6BGBR/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-single-cask-whiskies-and-rum-guyana-flavour-wheel.jpg Guyana - Tasting Notes This Guyana rum was re-racked into an ex-Williamson Islay whisky barrel for 12 months. The nose is an unusual pairing of the high ester tropical fruits that Guyanan rum often displays, with a slight ashy note drifting in, as if carried on a sea breeze. The palate is complex giving tobacco leaf, some engine oil and plenty of overripe fruit, leading to more of the same delicate smoke on the finish. A very unusual rum; if you have the opportunity and stamina, it is best paired with the Williamson. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1624548565659-SP3Z4OCLQIAG1O7LQ1YZ/ISLE-OF-ARRAN-DISTILLERY-mono.jpg Guyana - Distillery Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky.

Reassuringly familiar this 2016 dram from Tasmania is delightful with a mossy forest undercarpet, gentle spice and oodles of vanilla on the nose whilst the palate is creamy, fresh, subtle, well-balanced and long-lasting.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1625228843491-QOGOAQ9AFKAR10UMF2OO/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-single-cask-whiskies-and-rum-lark-distillery-flavour-wheel.jpg Lark Distillery - Tasting Notes This is a vatting of three 100 litre casks, married especially for Berry Bros. & Rudd. Citrus fruits abound on the nose, giving way to softer fruits, such as peach and apricot, and aromas suggestive of an older whisky – leather and a touch of tobacco. The palate is powerful yet subtle. Notes of vanilla and spice from its hot climate maturation. But behind this, there are layers of complex fruits and malty notes: lychee, strawberry jam and jackfruit. The finish would suggest a much older whisky, with musty fruity notes lingering long on the back palate. A joy to drink, or stash in the cellar for years to come. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1624548565659-SP3Z4OCLQIAG1O7LQ1YZ/ISLE-OF-ARRAN-DISTILLERY-mono.jpg Lark Distillery - Distillery Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky.

Each barrel gives subtly different elements to a deliciously coherent picture of this brilliant distillery. One offers gentle but juicy stone fruits, another provides deft oak and nuttiness for balance. The third reveals faintly whispered smokiness that I often find so appealing. What a lovely drink!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1625229135821-ZOTD8A7W0XT02A5CH8BC/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-small-batch-linkwood-flavour-wheel.jpg Linkwood - Tasting Notes Linkwood is generally archetypal of the lighter side of Speyside, and this refill hogshead is no exception. The nose is incredibly gentle, offering aromas of peach, banana and melon with a little toasted oak from the cask. This subtle theme continues on the palate, with notes of fresh fruit salad and a slight citrusy tanginess creating a wonderful interplay with the beautifully delicate texture. A whiff of smoke is glimpsed on the finish before waves of baking spice and oak roll in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1624548565659-SP3Z4OCLQIAG1O7LQ1YZ/ISLE-OF-ARRAN-DISTILLERY-mono.jpg Linkwood - Distillery Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky.

This is a truly remarkable distillate and one which is carving out its own genre of whisky.With a spirit like this, Kyrö is destined for a place at the high table of global rye producers.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1629894039569-DEA6ABWQCBM1IKDFTOXQ/kyro-distillery-maindistiller-veera-kujala-20x30-300dpi.jpg Kyrö - Tasting Notes The first ever independent whisky bottling from Kyrö is suitably immense. The nose is evocative of warm rye bread with lashings of butter, plenty of rich vanilla and the perfect balance of wood spice - genuinely mouth-watering. The palate is remarkably complex for its young age; while there is certainly the spice and vigour one would expect from rye, there’s a wonderful fruitiness balanced against it alongside mashed banana, pine needles and some plum jam. The finish is perhaps the real star however: long lasting spicy rye notes dance across the palate mingled with delicate oak. https://bbrspirits.com/our-spirits/single-cask-whiskies-and-rum/high-coast daily 0.75 2022-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1631108352836-7SRL7CU6TGBENCQ6JG7Z/BOS_Swedish-single-malt-whisky_2013_01.jpg High Coast - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production.

High Coast draw inspiration from both the rugged whiskies of Scotland and the precise beauty of the Japanese style to create something that may well surpass both.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1631190096868-ZI1PNTDEDYROE8AM8HKA/P9090115-2.jpg High Coast - Tasting Notes This is an unpeated example from High Coast with a rich colour from its Sherry wood maturation. A rich, farmy nose reminiscent of the great North Highland whiskies gives smoked bacon, seaweed and dried prune notes. The palate is intense at first, with powerful Sherry notes and wood spice initially dominating, but a little time on the palate shows the depth of this distillate, offering tobacco, blackcurrant jelly and juicy dates. The quality of Sherry cask shines through on the finish, giving waves of wood spice and jellied fruits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1631190166790-30J182RI791ER5YY0F3W/High+Coast+1.jpg High Coast - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://bbrspirits.com/our-spirits/single-cask-whiskies-and-rum/fary-lochan daily 0.75 2022-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1631191380190-3LL8OESQ1FNAM6Z5IDZZ/BOS_Danish-Single-Malt-Whisky_2014_01.jpg Fary Lochan - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production.

The nose is immediately evocative of garden bonfires and ancient woodland foliage after a heavy rainfall, but opens to show fresh zesty green fruits and nettle leaves – truly unique and quite spellbinding. The texture on the palate is amongst the thickest of any whisky, nearer virgin olive oil than water – what a remarkable body. Flavours of smoked nettle leaves, camphor, lime and melon abound. One could easily overlook Fary Lochan on the world stage, but this attractive little Dane has serious depth, and more smoky character in one dram than a pint of Lagavulin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1631191707822-M11YH38X3ZMRMK0NK9PD/Fary_Lochan_39.jpg Fary Lochan - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://bbrspirits.com/our-spirits/single-cask-whiskies-and-rum/myken daily 0.75 2022-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1631191997349-ML8XKGUU7EDR22ROGGWN/BOS_Norwegian-Single-Malt-Whisky_2017_01.jpg Myken - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production.

The nose is initially very gentle and takes a little time to open up, but those with patience are rewarded with light green fruit, bonfire ash and zesty lime. The palate is lusciously peated medicinal and coastal with notes of wild garlic and sooty chimneys. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1631192430251-W4ZI21VB36V000ZABFV2/mage+1.jpg Myken - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://bbrspirits.com/our-spirits/small-batch/teaninich daily 0.75 2021-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1633527370490-4ZHC1UX3RVDYJ1NSVQKM/2009_BBR-Small-Batch_Teaninich_2009_01.jpg Teaninich small batch - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production.

This gargantuan distillery can produce well in excess of ten million litres of spirit per year, and yet each drop seems to have the same softly rounded texture and gently sweet spice. A true, simple pleasure to drink and share.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1633528601367-H5YCU19FXWKBT888KGZ2/Teaninich_2009_spidergraph_aw.png Teaninich small batch - Tasting Notes This is a beguiling and fruity malt with perfumed aromas emerging. Passion fruit, a touch of lime and polished oak invite further exploration. The palate delivers waves of vanilla, yellow fruit and honey with some toasty influence. A little liquorice kicks in to herald the graceful finish. https://bbrspirits.com/our-spirits/single-cask-whiskies-and-rum/glenallachie daily 0.75 2022-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1633528831380-F8DWL6BRGIKCXPBT20JB/2008_BOS-Single-Cask_Glenallachie_2008_01.jpg Glenallachie - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production.

I found it had just sufficient sherry-influence to support and nurture Glenallachie’s lovely gentle spirit through the cold dark years of maturation. This comforting dram will reward an evening’s consideration.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1633529002215-RO8K51E8KM79ZC610WMF/Glenallachie_2008_spidergraph_aw.png Glenallachie - Tasting Notes This sherry butt shows a perfect meeting of wood and distillate; with the nose offering notes of rich toffee and dried fruit from the cask, mingling with fresh green fruit and citrus from the distillate. The palate gives more buttery toffee, Dundee cake and bags of wood spice. The finish is pleasantly drying, giving a lingering flavour of dates and prunes. A superlative sherry butt, ideal for sipping while contemplating life’s complexities. https://bbrspirits.com/our-spirits/single-cask-whiskies-and-rum/caol-ila daily 0.75 2022-01-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1633529289824-AANSB3BBGB82KSBEK04S/2009_BOS-Single-Cask_Caol_2009_01.jpg Caol ila - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production.

The palate gives more notes of peat smoke along with damp wool, icing sugar, slight floral notes, and more peat smoke! The finish is unmistakably coastal fading slowly with flavours of kippers, tar and yet more smoke. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1624998100271-05FBQ84ZON8Z6Z0G7JF1/expert-holding-image.jpg Caol ila - Doug McIvor “I love the Islay style and although it is not unusual for me to be found sipping heavy hitters such as Ardbeg or Laphroaig I would count Caol Ila as my “go to” due to its approachable fruity, smoky balance.

Sweet sticky desert wine and spicey rye works together perfectly to create a near existential experience for the taste buds. It’s certainly not one to pour someone with a weak heart, but this is easily the sort of bottle I could demolish with a few good friends over a game of cards.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1633533480898-18W6QQU5RHXDXEN75TA6/2017_BOS-Single-Cask_Few_2017_01.jpg FEW - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production.

The nose offers up sweet, sticky notes of peaches in syrup and dried apricot balanced against a more savoury spicey note akin to fresh rye bread, very unusual and equally enticing. The palate is huge with zaps of spicey rye tempered by sweet fruity notes from the wood, flavours of marmalade, dark chocolate, pineapple and black pepper - incredible. Sweetness and spice continue to mingle on the finish leaving one in need of another sip or two to figure out exactly what just came out of that glass. https://bbrspirits.com/our-spirits/single-cask-whiskies-and-rum/royal-brackla daily 0.75 2021-11-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1633532890111-FAA1XO783BMIU4FBQYLG/BBR_UK_SC_Royal_Brackla_2007_RGB_HR.jpg Royal Brackla - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production.

The nose is a wonderfully spiced mix of fresh and dried fruits; apples, pears and melon from the distillate and sticky figs and dates from the wood. The palate leans more towards the thick sherry wood influence with prunes, clove rock, toffee and honeycomb all swirling round. A perfect seasonal dram to get your claws into after a busy Christmas Day! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1634204630379-5L5I6C3RCR5RF7OSZB2R/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-our-experts-rob-whitehead-opt.jpg Royal Brackla - Rob Whitehead “Tasting Royal Brackla is an infrequent but invariable pleasure. This particular whisky, after a period of additional maturation in an ex-PX sherry cask, has a luscious helping of dried fruit richness and nicely supple tannins on the finish. Whisper it quietly, but this distillery seems to be on a real upswing – and it all starts with their impeccably distilled spirit that seems to marry so beautifully with sherry cask influence.” https://bbrspirits.com/our-spirits/single-cask-whiskies-and-rum/tullabardine daily 0.75 2021-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1633529754227-3DBR5L7JFA4I7REX36OH/1993_BOS-Single-Cask_Tullibardine_1993_01.jpg Tullabardine - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production.

The palate follows this theme, a little spice peppering the mid palate before some gentle fruity notes offer banana, lychee and perhaps a touch of furniture polish. Immensely easy going yet pleasingly complex. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1624998100271-05FBQ84ZON8Z6Z0G7JF1/expert-holding-image.jpg Tullabardine - Doug McIvor “Time has allowed tropical notes to develop and for the honeyed texture to carry a swathe of fruits including zesty lime, apricot, lychee and peach. The nose retains much freshness with some lovely beeswax and perhaps a hint of linseed and fennel.

Modest but with nothing to be modest about - one of those constantly consistent contributors. This expression on the nose has a combination of sweet apple and almond orchard and rich dark fruit which appear again on the palate and then almost as a Seasonal surprise, a perfumed fragrance of Christmas greets you at the back of the palate. Delicious” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1633532457595-TXTBPRUF4UXHWLLG1VMN/Glentauchers_2009_spidergraph_aw.png Glentauchers 09 - Tasting Notes This immense whisky was matured for ten years in a refill Oloroso butt, before being matured for a further two years in a fresh ex-Pedro Ximénez butt. It maybe clichéd to describe a sherry matured whisky as reminiscent of Christmas cake, but the aromas of rich fruit, baking spice, marzipan and maraschino cherriesoozing out of the glass are evocative of just that! The palate is almost too pleasurable to breakdown into tasting notes, a joyous rush of dried figs, stollen and blood orange, these notes linger on the finish with waves of gentle oak spice.

Richard Seale and his team are innovative distillers, investing in the kit but respecting the past. This is a balanced and honeyed style that should appeal to many palates. A mix of the tropics and just about every nuance of fruit you could throw at a rum, augmented by its ageing in Sauternes casks.

This Caol Ila is one such whisky, and bottled at the wonderful ‘session strength’ of 46%!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/cb8574dd-c8b1-4ee3-97a6-00640a41f87b/Flavour_wheel_whisky_2010_Caol_Ila_aw-1.jpg Caol ila SB - Tasting Notes The nose is initially deceptively gentle, offering icing sugar and a slight earthy smoke, though time in the glass crescendos the coastal peat showing muscular phenolic character. The palate gives more notes of peat smoke along with damp wool, icing sugar, slight floral notes, and more peat smoke! The finish is unmistakably coastal fading slowly with flavours of kippers, tar and yet more smoke. https://bbrspirits.com/our-spirits/single-cask-whiskies-and-rum/ruadh-maor daily 0.75 2022-01-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/2d03448a-5982-4bb6-8d10-d6418ef7c29e/2010_BBR-Single-Cask_Ruadh-Maor-64_2010_01.jpg Ruadh Maor - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production.

For those not from the UK, please seek them out on your next visit; smoky bacon flavoured corn chips and they taste exactly like peated Glenturret!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/36cbecf2-fa13-49a9-9e4e-5d22e2e4c660/Flavour_wheel_whisky_2010_Ruadh_Maor_aw-1.jpg Ruadh Maor - Tasting Notes This robust Highland malt does an uncanny impression of Ledaig; the nose offers fat smoky aromas of bacon, seaweed, some citrus and new leather, it’s remarkably coastal for a landlocked distillate. The palate continues this theme with powerful peat smoke developing into tobacco, some rich fruit, over ripe blood orange with a distinctly coastal tang. A long finish brings some oak with a little spice mingling with the fading ashy smoke. A rugged Highlander that would make excellent company on a long hike through the Grampian mountains. https://bbrspirits.com/our-spirits/single-cask-whiskies-and-rum/penderyn daily 0.75 2022-01-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/072571dc-2846-4d7d-ac9d-9a7f23ec1fd8/2013_BBR-Single-Cask_Penderyn-7526_2013_01.jpg Penderyn - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production.

Sweet and sour in great balance. Long in the palate , spicy with mid-weight and flavours. Definitely a happy after-dinner dram with lots of vanillas, citrus and the delicious, faint reminder of Madeira cake.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/f4688879-d117-46d4-b710-df9cf33e20ab/Flavour_wheel_whisky_2013_Penderyn_aw-1.jpg Penderyn - Tasting Notes A warming spicy nose offers notes of sweet Madeira, Victoria Sponge and lashings of golden syrup. A little time in the glass allows the distillate to power through bringing some green apple and barley sugars into the equation. The chewy palate shows a good balance of sweet sticky dried fruit notes from the cask balanced off with fresher citrus bursts and perhaps a little nuttiness on the back palate. A well made whisky that delivers well in the powerful cask. https://bbrspirits.com/our-spirits/single-cask-whiskies-and-rum/glentauchers-96 daily 0.75 2022-01-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/d0d107c2-4fbc-473c-b695-b97d1bd2c3ba/1996_BBR-Single-Cask_Glentauchers-3980_1996_01.jpg Glentauchers 96 - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production.

Glentauchers can sometimes fit this bill, but when lovely casks like this one are encountered it can be much more difficult to forget. This is very nicely balanced between the savoury aromas and the fruity sweetness often imparted by American oak, especially with a few drops of water. Orchard fruit and dried spices thread through the palate and finish.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/af5cb699-134d-4c48-bd37-d22a3818279a/Flavour_wheel_whisky_1996_Glentauchers_aw-1.jpg Glentauchers 96 - Tasting Notes The nose is initially floral, with walnuts, wax varnish and oak jostling for position. A little water brings out more balanced heather honey, honeysuckle and pear drops. The palate is an explosion of sweet, ripe fruits; apples and melon with cinder toffee and strawberry jam showing on the back palate. Spicy ginger and nutmeg linger on the finish. An excellent aged Speyside. https://bbrspirits.com/our-spirits/single-cask-whiskies-and-rum/glen-grant daily 0.75 2022-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/aa92213d-dd11-4ce1-a29b-43f4c08a7974/1998_BBR-Single-Cask_Glen-Grant-13215_1998_01.jpg Glen Grant WR - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production.

No tomfoolery with fancy casks, no hiding immaturity behind peat, o bells, no whistles, just water, yeast, barley and delicate oak all working under the real master here; time. There’s simply no substitute for decades of aging in a gentle refill cask and allowing great quality distillate to shine.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/29ded8d2-1831-4a8b-a212-e581cf7f7b60/Flavour_wheel_whisky_1998_Glen_Grant_aw-1.jpg Glen Grant WR - Tasting Notes Glen Grant is one of Speyside’s stalwarts, consistently producing outstanding whiskies in its own subtle, understated way, this old sherry butt is a perfect example. The harmonious nose is a masterclass in maturation over wood-seasoning showing well developed distillate character; bruised apples, hessian, orange zest and aged desert wine. This theme drifts onto the palate with the oak very gently guiding more soft fruit notes over the palate. There’s a hint of wood smoke on the palate along with a little more fresh fruit. A great example of classy old distillate left to mature in a wonderfully inactive cask, turns out wood doesn’t always make the whisky. https://bbrspirits.com/our-spirits/single-cask-whiskies-and-rum/panama-rum daily 0.75 2022-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/3a9d078f-6b5b-46d9-a7cd-fa60e187da77/2006_BBR-Single-Cask_Panama-rum-48_2006_01.jpg Panama Rum - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production.

The palate delivers more in the way of orange zest and apricot drizzled with acacia honey. This has a delicate complexity and lingering, thought provoking quality. One to ponder over. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1629893952073-ARLF89M1FIZ6ERR13BUW/jonny+macmillan.jpg Panama Rum - Jonny McMillan “For me good quality rum falls into two categories; wonderfully herbal, challenging and subversive distillates such as deep aged Rhum Agricole, and full flavoured, relaxed, fruit bombs that are far too easy to quaff – this Panamanian undoubtedly falls into the latter category. One pint please.” https://bbrspirits.com/craigellachie daily 0.75 2022-01-06 https://bbrspirits.com/our-spirits/single-cask-whiskies-and-rum/craigellachie daily 0.75 2022-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1625230352738-QTSYLCFQNWT6NCZMRMXH/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-single-cask-whiskies-and-rum-lark-distillery-expert-ronnie-cox.jpg Craigellachie - Ronnie Cox “Butter and grassy nose then ‘into the mash tun aromas’. Floral notes soft and plant-like, then dried fruits, humbugs and cloverflower honey, marzipan and toffee. Powerful in ABV it takes to water delivering a delicious waxiness, lillies and herbs with spices and jute on the memorable finish.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/63bfbd7f-157c-4869-a3cf-075756f1f672/2010_BBR-Single-Cask_Craigellachie-10028_2010_01.jpg Craigellachie - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production.

The palate is incredibly thick bringing a waxy character carried with honey, almonds, prunes with bursts of lime and mango towards the back palate. Wood spice dominates on the finish with an array of baking spices dancing across the tongue.

Almond and savoury spice are evident on the palate, rounded off with a finish that reminds me of woodland walks after the rain. A lovely example of old wood deftly supporting a light Speyside spirit, this’ll go beautifully with goat’s cheese.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/b896f6b1-ba7d-4a49-9649-a8396f628fea/Flavour_wheel_whisky_2010_Mannochmore_aw-1.jpg Mannochmore Small Batch - Tasting Notes Quite mineral, grassy and malty on the nose as the fruit notes emerge. There is a green edge of lime and kiwi, apple and a little peppery edge. The palate builds well with more in the way of lemon zest, buttered toast and white pepper. Lingering and balanced in a refined manner. https://bbrspirits.com/new-index daily 0.75 2022-04-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1634143139249-SIPR2S6OMDVP6UVGTWVF/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-single-cask-whiskies-and-rum-sutherland-expert-jonny-macmillan.jpeg Blair Athol - Jonny McMillan “Generally speaking I enjoy Blair Athol for its subtle and understated beauty, but a full maturation in an ex-Californian red wine barrique has left this cask of Blair Athol with the intensity of a thunderstorm. It’s initially bold, bombastic and full of bluster, but given some time to breathe this is actually quite a subtle dram in it’s own busy way.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/d75f363e-1d3f-4999-9aa0-8131f8e1611c/2009_BBR_Blair_Athol_307585_RGB_HR.jpg Blair Athol - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production.

On the palate high alcohol and spicy oak integrate beautifully to form an attacking character that demands attention - make no mistake though, this whisky shows complexity and subtlety, but it requires a little water to bring out the light apple and pear notes, and perhaps a little grilled lime and wood polish. Very powerful, but worth wresting into submission. https://bbrspirits.com/macduff daily 0.75 2022-04-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1624998100271-05FBQ84ZON8Z6Z0G7JF1/expert-holding-image.jpg Macduff - Doug McIvor “Creamy and attractively fruity with vanilla and citrus dancing well. The fruit is quite complex and retains sweetness. There are wonderful elements of summer fruits with a kiss of butterscotch. The oakiness is present but well in kilter. This is a nice and juicy dram with lots of luscious fruit throughout. It’s the definition of good length and balance!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/4475e346-3b8d-414d-b63c-51b5ded50775/2009_BBR_Macduff_700442_RGB_HR.jpg Macduff - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production.

The distillate’s fruity character dominates the palate bringing orange, underripe peach, green wine gums and honeyed toast.

The palate shows the benefit of a period spent in an Oloroso sherry butt, with treacle spice balancing the fulsome smoke. A remarkably balanced dram at cask strength, a few drops of water do allow for greater inspection of the complexities found in this wonderful whisky.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/900bc229-26ee-4bd4-a4f6-8e4baaca1447/2014_BBR_Williamson_05093_RGB_HR.jpg Williamson - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production.

At full strength the expected smoke disguises much, so the nose needs time to discover other complexities. With water the bruised orchard fruit come to the fore with a puff of smoke in the background. This is a pastel-coloured Islay compared to the oft darker West Coast equivalents. The combination with the Sherry Butt influence delivers an outstanding and truly outstanding portrait.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/bff98721-6f57-417e-a6bf-9b4a07a6c261/Flavour_wheel_whisky_2007_Undisclosed_Islay_aw-1.jpg Undisclosed Islay - Tasting Notes Peated whisky matured in ex-sherry wood is a hard balancing act to pull off, but the bouquet of ashy smoke, kippers, nutmeg and dried figs leaves one in no doubt that this cask has achieved such a feat! The palate is a similarly harmonious meeting of smoke and sherry with neither too dominant, there’s also complex notes of citrus, icing sugar, tobacco leaf and a little coastal note too. The spicy sherry wood pops on the finish showing dried fruit, cinnamon and dates with a pleasing smoky tang. https://bbrspirits.com/raasay daily 0.75 2022-04-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1624998100271-05FBQ84ZON8Z6Z0G7JF1/expert-holding-image.jpg Raasay - Doug McIvor “Peat, wet moss and iodine stream though tempered by a dollop of sherry influence. There is a hint of crab bisque-soaked digestives, not that I have ever paired them. It’s much more vinous on the palate with some cranberry acidity. This builds well in the mouth with enough honey strands that balance nicely. The sherry influence cuts through at the lingering peatiness to leave its stamp.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/d9f6548e-db2c-469e-9f2a-6f97b4b249fc/2017_BBR_Raasay_23_RGB_HR.jpg Raasay - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production.

After 3 years in a first fill ex-bourbon barrel it was split into two quarter casks, ex-Oloroso and PX, for 6 months then vatted back together. It opens with sweet flavours of mature Sauternes, apricot jam, mace and rich fruit. The distillate shows itself with peat smoke, soot and bonfire ash. Sweet sherry influenced notes and coastal peat smoke bring waves of spice, orange syrup and dried fruit. Complex layers of dark chocolate, smoked pancetta, prunes, spent fireworks and cedar notes appear.

The palate is a riot of texture and a deliciously chewy ode to wood. It is on the palate that the peat begins to grow and flourish into a smoky molasses finish. A beautiful example of warm-climate maturation from this first-rate distillery in Goa.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/66f91442-fed4-44e4-8539-c95248fae669/Flavour_wheel_whisky_2015_Paul_John_aw-1.jpg Paul John - Tasting Notes An example of Paul John’s heavily peated make matured full term in India. The nose offers a whack of peat smoke and vanilla, but with time in the glass an alluring fruitiness appears offering underripe mango and a little banana. This theme continues on the palate as powerful peat smoke dominates the tastebuds, before a much more complex picture appears showing marmalade, baking spice and some buttery shortbread. A dram that demands attention from even the most ardent Islay devotee. https://bbrspirits.com/monymusk daily 0.75 2022-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/58509a04-eec4-4487-893c-1ee19ef4aa6a/2004_BBR_Rum_Monymusk_17_RGB_HR.jpg Monymusk - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production.

On the palate the rich oily texture is a delight but perhaps more revealing when a few drops of water are added. Oily fruity with a touch of treacle at the end of its mid-length. I could happily sip this pre-dinner or as a postdinner pick-me-up.

The nose is a prime example of high ester rum; off ripe tropical fruit, paraffin, wax paper, lychee and orange zest all charge out the glass.

One to enjoy on a warm summer’s night around the embers of a beach bonfire, preferably somewhere along the West Coast.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/072b5707-dadb-471a-9d19-9efad06f070b/Flavour_wheel_whisky_2010_Caol_Ila_aw.jpg Caol ila Summer Release - Tasting Notes The nose is initially deceptively gentle, offering icing sugar and a slight earthy smoke, though time in the glass crescendos the coastal peat showing muscular phenolic character. The palate gives more notes of peat smoke along with damp wool, icing sugar, slight floral notes, and more peat smoke! The finish is unmistakably coastal, fading slowly with flavours of kippers, tar and yet more smoke. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/4d809fc8-4c9b-48e5-8832-baab86a15c86/2010_BBR-Small-batch_Caol-ila-Distillery_2022_2010_02.jpg Caol ila Summer Release - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production.

The palate is complex; opening with coffee, dark chocolate before the expected smoked barley, cullen skink and peat smoke come through. A lingering finish offers more smoke and earth as the mouth-coating distillate slowly ebbs away. Few distilleries have a character as uniquely recognisable as Ardmore. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1625230311818-QTIZQ7IRO0Z80RWNY0JI/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-small-batch-linkwood-expert-rob-whitehead.jpg Ardmore - Rob Whitehead “Icing sugar and peat smoke make unlikely bedfellows, but both sing to me on the nose of this impeccable Ardmore. Taut and muscular on the palate, with no surfeit of wood sweetness, I’m thrilled to find modest peatiness draped here on a petite but perfectly proportioned frame. This is one for those times when tangy smoke is called for, but circumspection is distinctly advantageous.” https://bbrspirits.com/staoisha daily 0.75 2022-05-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/e099d214-e8de-49f0-850d-f93b2718e8e6/2013_BBR-Single-casks_Staoisha_10518_2013_02.jpg Staoisha - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production.

Powerful aromas of peat smoke, new leather cedar, smoked haddock and coastal breeze present themselves immediately, though a little time shows a nice backbone of vanilla running through. The palate is similarly dominated by peat smoke, wool jumpers, charcoal and ash, all held together by a pleasingly sweet oak character and a burst of lemon zest. The finish shows more peat smoke, hints of digestive biscuit and a little drop of coconut. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1634143139249-SIPR2S6OMDVP6UVGTWVF/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-single-cask-whiskies-and-rum-sutherland-expert-jonny-macmillan.jpeg Staoisha - Jonny McMillan “Peatier than Granny McPeat waist deep in a peat bog during the Annual Islay Peat Wrestling Championship.” https://bbrspirits.com/ten-cane daily 0.75 2022-05-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/3f825322-e767-4862-b99c-7d0cd5097be0/Flavour_wheel_2012_Ten_Cane_Rum_aw.jpg Ten Cane - Tasting Notes Enticing aromas of caramelised bananas, brown sugar, treacle scones and tobacco leaf drift out the glass - an incredibly gentle spirit even at full strength. The palate is light textured yet full of warm notes of warm treacle, cream soda, new leather and burnt sugar. This theme continues seamlessly onto the finish, with soft brown sugar notes lingering pleasingly. This is exceptionally relaxed - a light yet flavourful and complex rum. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1625230352738-QTSYLCFQNWT6NCZMRMXH/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-single-cask-whiskies-and-rum-lark-distillery-expert-ronnie-cox.jpg Ten Cane - Ronnie Cox “Immediately inviting the attractive side of linseed oil mixed with apple tarts and raisin biscuit.

At full strength the palate is tour de force of Bourbon; mashed banana, dark chocolate, fruit cake, spicy rye bread, and a little water shows real depth and subtlety too bringing out gooseberry jam, tobacco and strawberry laces.

Bourbon doesn’t get much better. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/bada3e64-8414-4ab8-b7bb-df4c7c7e78b0/2018_BBR-Single-casks_USA-Bourbon_Ironroot-Distillery_506_2018_02.jpg Iron Root - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production.

Aromas of ripe apricot, wood smoke and sultanas, followed by a luxuriously thick mouth feel and plenty of plum notes. A full-bodied whisky often gives a long finish, and this is no exception with vanilla pod, peach and some spice appearing alongside. A gloriously full-bodied dram which leaves one Hungary for more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/ce832a7b-b34e-4f0d-bd95-89553dfa5388/2009_BBR-Single-casks_Teaninich-Distillery_11087_2009_02.jpg Teaninich - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production.

It is a very fine malt with a generous heart and often surprisingly complex. This expression highlights the robust yet nuanced character beautifully. The nose gives deep ripe banana with sprinkles of sugar and some bruised apple adding a little freshness and acidity. The expansive palate swells to give a lovely fruit salad mix with touches of spice and judicious oak. Wonderfully balanced and long lingering.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/7ef92f12-e7db-4c67-a058-dcd9163be8e6/Ben_Nevis_1998_spidergraph_HR.jpg Ben Nevis - Tasting Notes Complexity is the order of the day here. The nose is at once malty with austere fruit, while a little time in the glass brings out green wine gums, dried pineapple and a very slight wood-smoke note. Citrus bursts onto the palate with more tropical fruit, beeswax, cedar and mashed banana. As often with Ben Nevis, the back palate sings with vibrant grapefruit and pineapple fruitiness. There’s a touch of spice on the finish along with a slight malty smoky note https://bbrspirits.com/teaninich-1 daily 0.75 2022-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/6c54ec50-71e7-46cb-98cd-868dd0ce613d/2007-single-malt_Teaninich-distillery_Christmas-edition_cask-1903083-2.jpg Teaninich - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production. This is one such cask. Cask: #4348 Cask type: Bourbon Barrel Region: Islay Age: 10 Year of distillation: 2010 Bottled: 2021 ABV: 60.2% No. of bottles: 225 RRP: £200 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1625230352738-QTSYLCFQNWT6NCZMRMXH/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-single-cask-whiskies-and-rum-lark-distillery-expert-ronnie-cox.jpg Teaninich - Ronnie Cox “With just the vaguest hint of Andalusian sherry influence surrounding the fresh fruity notes on the nose, it springs to life with characteristic dried fruits balanced gracefully with honeyed fruits. Uplifting and fresh, it is a rare and delightful dram from a distillery found on an equally enchanting and prolific salmon river – the Alness.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/c9de642e-104f-4bc2-bf0a-204489bcdc82/Teaninich_2009_spidergraph_HR.jpg Teaninich - Tasting Notes This Highland single malt was matured in a refill sherry butt before being given a final two years maturing in a fresh Oloroso butt. The sherry wood is quite restrained on the nose with the fruity distillate displaying a mouthwatering array of zesty green fruit notes, the palate however leaves one in no doubt of the sherry maturation with thick dried figs and raisins mingling beautifully with grated apple and lashings of honey. A little water brings out bursts of wood spice and some of the citrus promised on the nose. Vibrant and fresh, a wonderful conversational dram. https://bbrspirits.com/milk-honey daily 0.75 2022-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1634207700374-9YFMIEQ0LUBC00KCZYM1/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-our-experts-rob-whitehead-opt.jpg Milk & Honey - Rob Whitehead “Oak-driven on the nose, this beautiful single malt from Israel shows touches of peat that grow much more intense on the palate and then slowly fade into the finish, accompanied by handsome wood and tobacco. Dried and stewed fruits feel interwoven throughout, particularly citrus peels and plum.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/24d3a0bc-ecd8-4dd0-a2b7-ee5209a315dc/Milk_Honey_2018_spidergraph_HR.jpg Milk & Honey - Tasting Notes This STR cask (“shaving, toasting and re-charring’’) was filled with equal quantities of the distillery’s peated and unpeated spirit, before being matured for three years in Israel. The nose offers thick slabs of fruit jelly: apricot, quince and overripe mango, opening up to notes of tobacco and crystallised ginger. The palate is incredible, viscous and chewy, showing notes of black cherry, espresso and dark chocolate, all with a deliciously fruity undertone. The finish delivers an explosion of spices, cinnamon, nutmeg and root ginger. This is a muscular dram worthy of many repeat visits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/abf1a708-7f5d-4419-891c-153db7dd05d3/2018-Israeli-single-malt_Milk-honey-distillery_cask-858-2.jpg Milk & Honey - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production.

Green olive and lime on the nose interplay with fruitcake notes, doubtlessly drawn from the wood. Magnificently well-judged peat, as so very often at this wonderful distillery, is prevalent on the palate and shares space with dried exotic fruit. I’ll have this with some tea-loaf and a quiet evening of contemplation, even better on the shore by the distillery.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/e8cf5307-1471-47df-971f-bc370bbfeb1c/Caol_Ila_2010_spidergraph_HR.jpg Caol Ila - Tasting Notes Scotland meets Italy. The nose is initially quite tight; a drop of water helps to tease out the aromas, giving peat smoke paired with a backbone of citrussy fruit loaf. The palate is pleasingly thick, showing coastal peat, dried fruit, mango, figs and spiced melon. After a slow start, this dram doesn’t hesitate. The lingering finish - marrying Islay’s peat and Italy’s sweet, spicy fruit notes - ensures you’ll be back for another dram https://bbrspirits.com/auchentoshan daily 0.75 2022-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1629893952073-ARLF89M1FIZ6ERR13BUW/jonny%2Bmacmillan.jpg Auchentoshan - Jonny McMillan “An archetypal triple distilled whisky, very light distillate notes showing green fruits with a touch of grassiness, but the main character is from the sweet ex-bourbon wood giving vanilla, caramel and coconut notes. A lighter whisky to be enjoyed before dinner I’d suggest.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/83937f14-1047-4545-bc8b-899c5e3b1fde/Auchentoshan_2010_spidergraph_HR.jpg Auchentoshan - Tasting Notes This understated Lowlander is the perfect balance of distillate and wood throughout. The nose gives soft shortbread and crème brûlée paired with fresh green fruit, apples, pear drops and marzipan. The palate follows this theme, with the vanilla flavours from the cask pairing perfectly with ripe distillate fruitiness. There’s an unexpected burst of mango and lime zest toward the back palate which lingers onto the finish. Often overlooked in favour of the bigger, bolder Highland whiskies, this is the perfect dram for a summer’s day - ideal to savour alongside a good book in the garden. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/84b0c78b-5f35-4db6-b82b-24b6a4334029/2010-single-malt_Auchentoshan-distillery_cask-700967-2.jpg Auchentoshan - Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production.

I think the 46% bottling strength works really nicely here too, brings out the oily mouth feel a little more.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/4b8c3c90-1439-4a4d-8ad1-fa335605213f/Dailuaine_2010_spidergraph_HR.jpg Dailuaine - Tasting Notes The nose is a complex bouquet of fresh, summery, floral notes, paired with a thicker almost tannic, vanilla aroma - all suggestive of the powerful dram that awaits to be savoured. The palate delivers waves of fresh fruit, dried pineapple, wood spice, barley sugars and beeswax shoe polish. Incredibly expressive for a younger dram at 46%, Dailuaine is often overlooked for its more famous cousin Mortlach, but it has a similarly chunky texture which shows wonderfully in this dram https://bbrspirits.com/new-index-1 daily 0.75 2023-01-05 https://bbrspirits.com/fiji daily 0.75 2023-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1611e361-c07c-4fee-ad3c-078298294a6c/Winter-Release-2022_SC-Global_BOS-Fiji-18_2010-1.jpg Fiji - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1634208196409-TT5GE16W4NM8K4POB25Y/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-our-experts-rob-whitehead-opt.jpg Fiji - Rob Whitehead “Whilst I have never had the honour of facing the Fijian national Rugby team and experiencing their formidable Cibi war dance at close range, after gustatorially wrestling this remarkable Rum, I feel I can at least sympathise with those brave souls who have. This is, by turns, like having your head, and upper body, repeatedly trapped in a car bonnet and yet also as if being vigorously beaten with variably-sized plastic bottles of lurid carbonated tropical fruit drinks. It is preposterous, and I am richer for having experienced it!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/e696153c-8afe-4827-bfdc-ffd5aea7525f/Fiji_Rum_2010_spidergraph_HR.jpg Fiji - Tasting Notes Whack. This Fijian rum leaps out of the glass from metres away; an incredible hybrid of Jamaicanstyle tropical funk and agricole-like synthetic fruit rampages across the olfactory senses, leaving one astounded and wanting more. The palate offers linseed oil, pineapple, guava, grapefruit, engine oil, beeswax and paraffin, all with a backbone of cream-soda-like vanilla. This is an immense rum - be sure to warm up before approaching it. https://bbrspirits.com/winter-intro-kornog daily 0.75 2023-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/4117b292-b4d2-45e9-bdf5-7443c5b93eb1/Winter-Release-2022_SC-Global_BOS-Kornog-12107_2006-1.jpg Kornog - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1634208196409-TT5GE16W4NM8K4POB25Y/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-our-experts-rob-whitehead-opt.jpg Kornog - Rob Whitehead “Whilst Berry Bros. & Rudd has bottled French brandies for centuries, our first ever gallic whisky is a beautiful introduction to French single malt. Extraordinarily complex, especially with a little time in the glass (I’d give it 30mins+ if you can possible stand the waiting..!) This truly noteworthy whisky is replete with smoke, savoury herbs, custard and toffee, yet amongst those dominant flavours, I found stone fruit and even some dried mango. Unabashed Breton brilliance!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/b7a41c67-a187-46c6-b1e0-74094115c119/Kornog_2006_spidergraph_HR.jpg Kornog - Tasting Notes This cask came to Berry Bros & Rudd from the writer Martine Nouet, a long-time friend of the company. It was filled for Martine by her friend Jean Donnay of Glann ar Mor distillery in 2006. This is the oldest cask bottled from the distillery to date, and the following notes are written by Martine herself. “The nose displays an enticing fruity basket of plums and caramelised pears delicately entangled in smoke. Vanilla lusciously swirls up with a briny whiff. The palate is oily, almost velvety and brings out flavours of banoffee pie and intense fruit with a lingering finish on ginger, liquorice with vetiver. Elegant and complex, a true Celt character from Brittany.” https://bbrspirits.com/blair-athol daily 0.75 2023-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/fedbd485-7907-4664-b3ce-6063e90e936c/Winter-Release-2022_SC-UK_BOS-Blair-Athol-11085_2008-1.jpg Blair Athol - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1634208196409-TT5GE16W4NM8K4POB25Y/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-our-experts-rob-whitehead-opt.jpg Blair Athol - Rob Whitehead “The nose of this Highlander is a fruit compote made from a veritable melange of orange fruits with whisps of oak playing an ably supportive role. Comfortingly rounded on the palate, the fruit keeps on giving whilst marzipan joins the wooden structural component, which someone has lovingly oiled and polished. As the finish flows, all the previous elements gently fade whilst veering slightly drier, ensuring the requirements for a second sip!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/3b0c817a-11ba-4152-977a-12313fc09b07/Blair_Athol_2008_spidergraph_HR.jpg Blair Athol - Tasting Notes Rich, sweet and chewy aromas rise from the glass, offering apricot, figs, almonds and zingy marmalade. This dram takes a little time to open up, but some air brings forth some ripe green apples and a little cinnamon. The palate is thick and full, giving more jammy apricot notes and some dried fruit, but with clear distillate character coming through in the form of stewed apples and pears. A long, mouth-coating finish shows baking spice and oak. This is a big, full, warming whisky. https://bbrspirits.com/williamson-1 daily 0.75 2023-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/63f2c5c2-e8b9-43e5-9957-1040d5a54026/Winter-Release-2022_SC-UK_BOS-Williamson-208-2013-1.jpg Williamson - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1625583266073-2R03A9MYVB1X0XYJ07IZ/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-single-cask-whiskies-and-rum-sutherland-expert-doug-mcivor.jpg Williamson - Doug McIvor “Immediately leathery and peaty to the nose yet there is a calming fruitiness which wraps around the early notes. Red berries shine through. The palate is layered with more leather and peat fighting the fruit but the honey texture allows the battle to fight on. Big and bold yet charming to the last.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/0fa7488e-a4a5-4732-9f4d-ffe24afa98d1/Williamson_2013_spidergraph_HR.jpg Williamson - Tasting Notes There’s a great Scottish exclamation to sum up the initial aromas: “jings!”. This is a massive whisky, with huge aromas of peat fires, ash and iodine. This is combined with a subtly spicy character from a glorious ex-Moscatel cask, giving notes of gingerbread, apricot and sultana bread. The palate is equally monstrous - Islay whisky at its vulgar best: peat smoke, leather and seaweed, all rounded by a hugely fruity cask which adds a luxurious mouthfeel. The thick texture adds length to the finish, giving more dried fruit and ash. It’s sudden, powerful, complex, lasting and memorable. Jings! https://bbrspirits.com/dailuaine-1 daily 0.75 2023-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/7537341f-b44c-4f8b-a730-662b897a1d30/Winter-Release-2022_SC-UK_BOS-Dailuaine-315729_2009-1.jpg Dailuaine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/0868937b-a69d-48d7-ba0a-bb277479a3f8/Dailuaine_2009_spidergraph_HR.jpg Dailuaine - Tasting Notes This chunky Speyside wades out of the glass, offering notes of waxy honeycomb, fruit-salad chews and a pleasing floral note. The palate continues this theme, with added vibrant green fruit: Granny Smiths and pear drops, as well as dried barley, cigar papers and some beautiful waxy notes - immensely complex for a dram of this age. More fresh fruits linger on the palate, as well as a touch of spice. This is further evidence that Dailuaine is surely one of Scotland’s best lesser-known distilleries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1634143139249-SIPR2S6OMDVP6UVGTWVF/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-single-cask-whiskies-and-rum-sutherland-expert-jonny-macmillan.jpeg Dailuaine - Jonny McMillan “Mouthfeel is often overlooked as an important trait of single malt, but trying a whisky as weighty as this Dailuaine is a powerful reminder that texture is almost as important as flavour, and in most parts the two are integrated; creating a greater dram.” https://bbrspirits.com/glen-garioch daily 0.75 2023-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1625583266073-2R03A9MYVB1X0XYJ07IZ/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-single-cask-whiskies-and-rum-sutherland-expert-doug-mcivor.jpg Glen Garioch - Doug McIvor “Very fruity on the nose, reminiscent of dolly mixtures with a dusting of coconut but with an earthy quality giving a nod to the distillery’s generic peaty note. The palate brims with confected fruit with the peatiness cutting through again. The oak is controlled giving a sense of the whisky’s maturity. Gloriously balanced!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/fb1d4337-a40e-47af-abee-7cd6d48fe366/Glen_Garioch_1988_spidergraph_HR.jpg Glen Garioch - Tasting Notes Tasting Notes Highland Whisky at it’s best. This rich, turfy Glen Garioch harks back to the days of the distillery’s own floor malting and direct fire stills throwing out earthy aromas of Highland peat bogs, roasted barley, dark chocolate, honeycomb, leather and cigar leaf. Exceptional. If one manages to get past the nose, the palate gives a massive whack of herbaceous peat, resin, oak smoke and tar, moving to dried fruit, cocoa powder and dates. Spice rises on the finish giving lasting waves of smoke and turf. They don’t make whisky like this anymore, and after a dram one wonders why not? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/3e7ca703-6864-40ca-a99f-1e9d329148d6/WI471F%7E1.JPG Glen Garioch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://bbrspirits.com/chichibu-1 daily 0.75 2023-03-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/0f322f49-1a8b-4e03-b198-508b18963c3b/Winter-Release-2022_Exceptional-Casks-Global_BOS-Chichibu-3351_2014-1.jpg Chichibu - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1634143139249-SIPR2S6OMDVP6UVGTWVF/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-single-cask-whiskies-and-rum-sutherland-expert-jonny-macmillan.jpeg Chichibu - Jonny McMillan “Precise, chiselled, pure; this sort of malt driven goodness can only mean Chichibu! It’s very exciting to bottle a cask from such an in demand distillery, especially when it lives up to the hype. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/7eb5d063-b790-485d-8ea7-718c70335071/Chichibu_2014_spidergraph_HR.jpg Chichibu - Tasting Notes Lush aromas of ripe mango and lime juice drift out of the glass, mingling with spiced custard over apple sponge cake. A little time in the glass brings a chiselled maltiness into play along with a touch of desiccated coconut. The palate is noticeably thick, showing a wonderful mouthfeel. The character is initially of dried malt, but soon develops into fresh citrus fruits, apricot yoghurt and banana bread, with a suggestion of wood smoke on the rear palate. The finish brings spiced crème brûlée, dried apple and a mouth-watering note of ripening pineapple. This is a masterclass in Japanese whisky from one of the world’s most in-demand distilleries. https://bbrspirits.com/linkwood-cny daily 0.75 2023-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/ee7eec31-5bd8-4b44-ab67-a5235e25f627/Winter-Release-2022_CNY-Linkwood-YEAR-OF-RABBIT-314464-66_2011-1.jpg Linkwood CNY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1625583266073-2R03A9MYVB1X0XYJ07IZ/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-single-cask-whiskies-and-rum-sutherland-expert-doug-mcivor.jpg Linkwood CNY - Doug McIvor “Linkwood, but amplified through judicious finishing! There is an earthy note overlayed by honeyed, yellow fruit notes and coconut. The palate swells with sweetness cut by a little green banana and raw cashew. An initial spicy prickle subsides to allow waves of gentle fruit and a lingering finale.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/541bdaf2-d18d-4554-8fc1-684768582e64/Linkwood_2011_spidergraph_HR.jpg Linkwood CNY - Tasting Notes This delicate Speyside, re-racked into juicy ex-Oloroso wood, is a warren of flavour. The nose offers apricot jam, figs and underripe peach, growing into spiced creamy carrot cairn. The palate builds beautifully from fresh fruit into rich dried fruitcake. The addition of a little water and delving deeper reveals more fresh peaches and coconut, along with further wood spice.

This will make an excellent session whisky, and pair well with an IPA for a classic half n’ half.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/5c5e92b1-b3f0-4956-8318-ba9fb9656d59/SB_BLA%7E1.JPG Blair Athol Small Batch - Winter Release - Tasting Notes Complexity and subtlety are the order of the day with this luscious Blair Athol. Maturation in refill hogsheads has allowed the distillate to shine through in this bottling (generally, Blair Athol is filled into heavy first fill casks, masking the distillery’s very subtle character). The nose shows stewed apple with a touch of spice, a little vanilla, peach skins and some ground almond. A wonderfully full textured palate gives a similar ride through fruit, spice and nuttiness, with just the merest hint of wood smoke on the end. A beautiful little dram. https://bbrspirits.com/benriach daily 0.75 2023-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1912e239-17fa-4959-be2f-c4bc46bd4728/Spring-Release_Benriach-20-08036_01.jpg Benriach - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1634208196409-TT5GE16W4NM8K4POB25Y/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-our-experts-rob-whitehead-opt.jpg Benriach - Rob Whitehead “This dram shows the savoury side of ex-Pedro Ximenez cask maturation. Black Tea and various chocolates are interwoven on the nose with the darkest cherries and musk rose. The palate develops this theme with Turkish Delight, a whisp of woodsmoke and various fruits of the forest. Some enervating tartness of lingering berries round out proceedings with aplomb. There is wonderful work going on here in this quiet corner of Speyside.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/39988f5a-3e6e-401c-953c-d70027a392b8/Benriach_2010_spidergraph_HR.jpg Benriach - Tasting Notes This vibrant Speysider has spent the last two years of its life in a sweet ex- Pedro Ximénez butt, giving a spicy nose full of sticky gingerbread, clove rock and liquorice. A little water coaxes out some juicy pear notes and a touch of underripe mango. The palate is a touch drying at full strength, offering ginger, pepper and sweet plum wine. A little time and dilution show a more complex dram, with layers of fruit, spice and a touch of oak. This is a vigorous whisky perfect for enjoying after dinner alongside dessert. https://bbrspirits.com/benriach-esc daily 0.75 2023-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/abd22904-66dd-4a48-be1a-4dad9e170393/Spring-Release_ESC-Benriach-46507_01.jpg Benriach ESC - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1634208196409-TT5GE16W4NM8K4POB25Y/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-our-experts-rob-whitehead-opt.jpg Benriach ESC - Rob Whitehead “For most of its life Glencadam was little known other than as a contributor to house blends including Stewart’s Cream of the Barley. This changed when the Hillman family bought the distillery in 2003, resuming production and puting the whisky firmly on the map as a top notch single malt in its own right.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/ac3a457d-efbe-4526-90b3-af161d8566a2/Benriach_1991_XC_spidergraph_HR.jpg Benriach ESC - Tasting Notes Like a good book, this elegant old Speysider builds with time and grows in character – be prepared to give it a good hour in the glass to open up. Aromas of banana bread, musty attics, leather and wax blend with fresher fruit notes to create an incredibly deep nose. This theme continues on the palate, which displays a beautifully aged character, with notes of spiced custard, cardamom fudge. Hints of praline build alongside dried apricot and something pleasingly musty. Lingering spice and fruit show with an unexpected puff of wood smoke on the back palate. This is a marvellous example of aged Speyside whisky. https://bbrspirits.com/glencadam-spring-release-2023 daily 0.75 2023-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/903740d7-bb67-42ad-b8d7-f1e782908ff2/Spring-Release_Glencadam-800215_01.jpg Glencadam - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1634143139249-SIPR2S6OMDVP6UVGTWVF/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-single-cask-whiskies-and-rum-sutherland-expert-jonny-macmillan.jpeg Glencadam - Jonny McMillan “These casks really surprised me, they’re super fruity and wonderfully vibrant – I think they pair almost perfectly with the sweet wine casks.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/2d6582eb-d174-435d-bc42-2c9704a10b94/Glencadam_2011_spidergraph_HR.jpg Glencadam - Tasting Notes A final year maturing in ex-sweet wine casks has brought out the playful fruitiness of this delightful Glencadam. Apricots, peaches, orange blossom and honey yoghurt all flutter out of the glass, making for a wonderfully refreshing nose. The palate is gloriously thick, bringing more bright fruits along with mango syrup, chewy dried pineapple and a hint of drying wood varnish. All of this is wrapped up on the lingering palate by further notes of fruit syrup. This is amazingly fresh and floral. https://bbrspirits.com/glen-garioch-spring-release-2023 daily 0.75 2023-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/4d3a5952-5591-4798-8fca-f9cb8bb9d595/Spring-Release_Glen-Garioch-Z20-08028_01.jpg Glen Garioch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1634208196409-TT5GE16W4NM8K4POB25Y/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-our-experts-rob-whitehead-opt.jpg Glen Garioch - Rob Whitehead “This glorious Glen Garioch has a forthright nose of over-ripe and stewed fruits that are lusciously supported on the plate with toffees and caramels. The sherry wood here is keen to speak but held firmly in-check by the delicious oiliness of the spirit. Excellent stuff from a distillery where the sky is truly the limit.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/912b2723-28e9-4502-9054-a9df70b83fd5/Glen_Garioch_2011_spidergraph_HR.jpg Glen Garioch - Tasting Notes Glen Garioch and Sherry wood are one of the finest matches in the whisky world – which is why this robust malt has spent the last two years building some extra muscle in a first-fill butt. The bouquet offers dark chocolate and tea leaves, with prune cake and spiced sultanas appearing with time. Glen Garioch has incredible body, and the palate is notably thick as dried fruit, wood smoke, brambles and oak spice all demand your attention. The finish lasts long, showing a perfect balance of fruit, spice, smoke and Sherry wood. It’s a perfect marriage of wood and distillate. https://bbrspirits.com/glen-moray-spring-release-2023 daily 0.75 2023-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/921c7e15-c068-4ee7-ba12-06bdd21ff19c/Spring-Release_Glen-Moray_5587_01.jpg Glen Moray - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1625583266073-2R03A9MYVB1X0XYJ07IZ/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-single-cask-whiskies-and-rum-sutherland-expert-doug-mcivor.jpg Glen Moray - Doug McIvor “Earthy with hints of damp warehouse floors and oak tannin until the ripe autumn fruits arrive. There is a true melange of berries tempered by a backdrop of banana, vanilla and custard. The palate explodes with rich fruit laced with a little licorice and gentle spice. All carries nicely through the long lingering finish.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/ba57acb4-0e1a-411f-ae29-7682b8de044c/Glen_Moray_2008_spidergraph_HR.jpg Glen Moray - Tasting Notes Bags of red fruit pour out of the glass offering zingy redcurrants, strawberry jam and cherries on the nose. The palate is like distilled Summer Cup, at once floral and spicy with more fruit appearing across the palate – a wonderfully rounded whisky. Red wine notes appear on the finish, showing bruised strawberries and a hint of liquorice. This Glen Moray is bound to be a hit with fans of red wine-finished drams. https://bbrspirits.com/invergordon daily 0.75 2023-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/ba2371f7-0a96-465a-ba6d-7800b46a6734/Spring-Release_Invergordon-26970_01.jpg Invergordon - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1634208196409-TT5GE16W4NM8K4POB25Y/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-our-experts-rob-whitehead-opt.jpg Invergordon - Rob Whitehead “If this buttery-biscuit dram is serving as an introduction to the Single Grain style, then be assured that these sweet spice notes are hardwon over many years of patient maturation. Now approaching three and a half decades in oak, here can be found flapjack, fully ripe tannins and lashings of vanilla. An ideal choice for a dram with dessert.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/079086d6-12a1-45c4-b8c8-3c3635b4b6bf/Invergordon_1988_spidergraph_HR.jpg Invergordon - Tasting Notes The nose gives toasted oak, apple and melon skin, with a fresh menthol note. There is some honeyed depth and cinnamon spice. The palate is beautifully expansive with Bourbon cask notes, buttery vanilla and crème caramel. The delivery is most graceful and lingering. https://bbrspirits.com/portsmouth-spring-release-2023 daily 0.75 2023-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/c6248a7d-6037-4a64-9b10-4c3a74be37ec/Spring-Release_Portsmouth-5_01.jpg Portsmouth - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1625583266073-2R03A9MYVB1X0XYJ07IZ/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-single-cask-whiskies-and-rum-sutherland-expert-doug-mcivor.jpg Portsmouth - Doug McIvor “Absolutely engaging and inviting on the nose with vanilla, butterscotch and soft ripe banana. There is a delicate hint of toasted oak restrained by honey strands. The palate swells with more vanilla and yellow fruit skin and a hint of menthol to add further interest. Even at cask strength this is easy on the palate and graceful on the lingering finish. All seems very well integrated with nothing out of place. Immensely sippable.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/c8e1e48b-7c4b-430b-ab70-eb67f5c1321c/Portsmouth_Rum_2019_spidergraph_HR.jpg Portsmouth - Tasting Notes Matured in ex-Bourbon barrels for three years, this golden rum punches well above its weight and could easily be mistaken for an older Caribbean cousin. The vanilla character is overlayed with some rich citrus and candied fruit, resulting in a balanced and classy rum with a textured mouthfeel and a satisfying lingering finish. This is ideal with a mixer if that is your inclination, but it stands out as a high-class sipping rum in its own right. https://bbrspirits.com/small-batch-glen-elgin-spring-2023 daily 0.75 2023-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/89b02803-ddfe-4f03-a566-50521619bc71/Spring-Release_Small-Batch-Glen-Elgin-800468-70_01.jpg Small Batch Glen Elgin - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1634143139249-SIPR2S6OMDVP6UVGTWVF/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-single-cask-whiskies-and-rum-sutherland-expert-jonny-macmillan.jpeg Small Batch Glen Elgin - Jonny McMillan “Glen Elgin is often notable for it’s chewy mouthfeel and thick fruit distillate driven fruit notes – and this small batch is no exception! At 46% it’s perfect drinking strength for quaffing alongside a similarly fruity IPA this Spring!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/daee2b2e-c406-4aae-bd21-5c19c12e001c/Glen_Elgin_2013_SB_spidergraph_HR.jpg Small Batch Glen Elgin - Tasting Notes The nose opens with Glen Elgin’s trademark burnt marmalade notes, alongside some apples and pears. A little time in the glass brings forward notes of crème brûlée with spiced cream. The palate is muscular, reminding us of Glen Elgin’s traditional worm tubs, while a perfect balance of fruit and oak waltz over the tongue. With characterful liquid like this, it’s hard to fathom why Glen Elgin isn’t one of the biggest names in Scotch whisky. https://bbrspirits.com/spirit-of-yorkshire-spring-release-2023 daily 0.75 2023-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/52ba8403-ae4c-4562-af8f-9958631d303a/Spring-Release_Spirit-of-Yorkshire-2237_01.jpg Spirit of Yorkshire - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1625583266073-2R03A9MYVB1X0XYJ07IZ/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-single-cask-whiskies-and-rum-sutherland-expert-doug-mcivor.jpg Spirit of Yorkshire - Doug McIvor “A dolly mixture nose provides confected fruit with dustings of coconut. The fruit becomes more concentrated giving some cranberry and blackcurrant. All is bright as the wood has not dominated and tannins are controlled. The palate is thick and rich with jammy red fruits that keep giving. All holds together well as the lingering finish plays out.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/354306b1-f8f7-4004-b981-a045b0d7fa62/Yorkshire_2017_spidergraph_HR.jpg Spirit of Yorkshire - Tasting Notes The spirit was poured into first-fill ex-bourbon wood in February 2017, then re-racked for two and a half years into rich Pedro Ximénez wood. As with many bottlings from this brilliant distillery, the joy here is the interplay between cask and barley. Unlike most whisky-makers, our friends at Spirit of Yorkshire grow all their own barley and take an immense pride in doing so. Starting from such impeccable raw material in any endeavour gives the greatest chance of success. Here, paired with a potentially domineering ex Pedro- Ximénez Sherry cask, the rich, oily, grain sweetness is a delight. A scant few drops of water release even more sweetness alongside the opulent spice. https://bbrspirits.com/collective daily 0.75 2023-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/d015fa41-3e2c-452c-8511-80b8c9dd6786/THEOXF%7E3.JPG Collective - Flavour Sustainable practices in the whisky industry can impact flavour profiles positively by influencing ingredient sourcing, production processes, and the overall environmental context in which whisky is made. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/8354a041-1463-4564-81c1-8155be0277cc/Silhouttes+Collective.JPG Collective - The Makers These distillers are united by their desire to craft exceptional spirit, while creatively challenging conventions to reduce their impact on the planet’s natural resources. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/a6f40bf9-6a11-41ed-941c-2821bc518164/ryan+5.jpg Collective - Diversity & Solutions The whisky industry continues to evolve, offering a broad spectrum of flavours and styles to cater to the ever-expanding and diverse world of whisky.

The palate is at once vibrant and vast, with notes of mango, delicate hemp, wood polish, beeswax and spiced fruit, all rolling around the mouth. The finish offers more fruit, orange and lychee. An exceptionally complex and ever-evolving glass of whisky; if Tolstoy made whisky, it would taste like this. https://bbrspirits.com/benrinnes-small-batch-summer-release-2023 daily 0.75 2023-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1629893952073-ARLF89M1FIZ6ERR13BUW/jonny%2Bmacmillan.jpg Small Batch Benrinnes - Jonny says: “Light in character, heavy in texture, a wonderful introduction to why anyone that’s tried Benrinnes, loves Benrinnes.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/bceaa66f-0896-4dd5-acf2-eb372d85322c/BENRIN%7E1.JPG Small Batch Benrinnes - Tasting Notes The aromas of this Speyside heavyweight somehow convey the texture of the liquid itself; honey, fresh hay and warm floral notes all build with citrus and fresh Granny Smiths, emerging with time in the glass. The palate is wonderfully quaffable, showing rounded notes of fruit and golden syrup with the meaty character that Benrinnes is known for. This bottle will disappear quickly when placed at the centre of the card table with a group of good friends. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/88135854-a4fb-4a9d-8ab8-dcb370572f6e/Small+Batch+Benrinnes-A.jpg Small Batch Benrinnes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://bbrspirits.com/masthouse-summer-release-2023 daily 0.75 2023-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1625583266073-2R03A9MYVB1X0XYJ07IZ/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-single-cask-whiskies-and-rum-sutherland-expert-doug-mcivor.jpg Masthouse - Doug McIvor “Resinous, hints of ripe corn, dry oak and an intriguing mix of beeswax and a little menthol and herbs. The nose is meaty and enticing. Yellow fruits and heaps of vanilla burst through with dustings of spice; white pepper and perhaps a trace of nutmeg and clove. All is good and very well integrated. The mouth expands with rich ripe corn as other yellow fruits join the party. Bruised banana peel and sweet melon come to mind. You can hold this on the palate for a good while as the spices buzz and tingle. Something reminds me of spring rolls. The finish keeps some fruitiness going, perhaps banana again. Ultimately the spices prevail. Great expectations delivered!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/81a510cc-00ac-48c9-8f2d-cc0031420825/COPPER%7E1.JPG Masthouse - Tasting Notes The nose displays a harmonious balance of fresh tropical fruits and American oak, with the two integrating seamlessly. Aromas of fresh melon, tinned pineapple and buttered popcorn build in intensity. This balanced theme continues on the palate, producing more tropicality and oak-driven coconut with a luxurious mouthfeel. There are further fresh fruits on the palate before some light spices appear. Considering this whisky’s youthful age, it isn’t far short of a masterpiece – one of the best distillates being produced in the UK and even the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/99012791-1288-4951-990e-9fe467c8c860/Masthouse+English+Single+Malt-A.jpg Masthouse - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://bbrspirits.com/orkney-summer-release-2023 daily 0.75 2023-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1629893952073-ARLF89M1FIZ6ERR13BUW/jonny%2Bmacmillan.jpg Orkney - Jonny McMillan “When choosing what casks to rerack into sherry, we always look for those with either robust character or texture so this famous Orkney distillery (that’s not Scapa!) is always an obvious choice.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/680eb0b5-f7c9-4149-a14e-8aa74a580adc/ORKNEY%7E1.JPG Orkney - Tasting Notes This hefty Orcadian gives a huge puff of turfy peat smoke initially, much more so than one expects from this distillery. Soon, further aromas of heather bells, leather and charcoal emerge. The palate brings the Sherry wood influence, with rich dried fruits and soft spices balancing thick smoke, heather, honey and grilled lime. This dram has huge texture, which seems to integrate with its turfy character. More sooty peat comes through on the finish, with waves of fruit and honey. A wonderful, chewy masterclass in Orcadian turf. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/dde30da0-5039-46c4-9eb7-23193f5bad68/Orkney+%235051-A.jpg Orkney - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://bbrspirits.com/brazil-rum-summer-release-2023 daily 0.75 2023-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1634208196409-TT5GE16W4NM8K4POB25Y/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-our-experts-rob-whitehead-opt.jpg Brazil Rum - Rob Whitehead “This Brazilian debutant to our range is, at first impressions a tall, willowy character, all high-cheekbones and graceful lines. Green citrus notes intertwine with flecks of funk and grassy touches that remind me of Brazil’s great spirit, Cachaca. This is Rum, however, and the funk intensifies a little on a palate that broadens wonderfully towards a base seemingly enrobed in pillowy-soft fondant icing. The finish is more lifted, with allspice, plump fruit and, pleasingly, Brazil nuts.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/9acad0b8-7f74-4db5-96f1-f189f4e53631/BRAZIL%7E1.JPG Brazil Rum - Tasting Notes This exquisite Brazilian rum from Epris distillery exudes a ripe fruitiness and smoky depth on its first nosing. There is a tarry element with underlying notes of overripe banana cut with lime astringency. Overall, this is elegantly refined and finely balanced. The palate has a grapier taste to it on first approach, before settling and delivering some caramelised elements. The banana returns to soften the initial impact, yet the citrus is plain to be felt. The wood, from American refill barrels and some indigenous Imbuana, is effortlessly integrated. This is an excellent marriage of 80% cane juice and 20% molasses and quite a masterstroke of blending the two. Distilled in 2011, this landed in the UK at 6 years old to mature in our damper climes and seems all the better for it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/8f83d84b-1e0e-4146-94b6-c45efb492551/Brazil+%28Epris%29+%2324-A.jpg Brazil Rum - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://bbrspirits.com/dufftown-summer-release-2023 daily 0.75 2023-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1625583266073-2R03A9MYVB1X0XYJ07IZ/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-single-cask-whiskies-and-rum-sutherland-expert-doug-mcivor.jpg Dufftown - Doug McIvor “Lovely cereal and honey notes to the fore. Energetic energy bars! There is a sweetness from apricot, a trace of peach and a little tartness from quince. The cereal begins to suggest sugar sprinkled cornflakes with a whiff of bruised banana. The palate delivers a biscuity platform upon which the fruits begin to stack. There is more in the way of mango and kiwi now and peach skin prickle. All builds well and integrates keeping the experience alive. The finish is well balanced, good and long with a lasting fruity, peachy sting. Very well composed.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/474d0618-fb3c-4776-a1fe-9091fb24a85f/DUFFTO%7E1.JPG Dufftown - Tasting Notes Enticing aromas of stewed apricot, orange marmalade and lemon curd lure one in. The addition of a little water brings out for gentle baking spice and vibrant green fruity distillate notes. The palate is wonderfully fat and chewy, throwing off more apricot, plums and tobacco leaf. There’s a whiff of wood smoke on the finish, along with a touch of wood spice and a mouthwatering, lingering note of fruit ja https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/4b7372e4-490c-4a7f-b5ae-551cd63d3879/Dufftown+%2378-A.jpg Dufftown - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://bbrspirits.com/caol-ila-summer-release-2023 daily 0.75 2023-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/aac2c147-562a-4229-a04f-c2ee9f09cc12/CAOL_I%7E1.JPG Caol Ila - Tasting Notes The interplay of peat and Sherry commences immediately with aromas of tarry peat smoke, rich Oloroso Sherry, iodine and prunes, with a suggestion of fireworks and beef jerky. The palate is equally robust and complex with Caol Ila’s sooty peat smoke wrapped in layers of dried fruit and citrus, with notes of vanilla pods, spice markets and salty coastal breeze building with time. Waves of full, oily Sherry wood roll across the finish, with lasting peat smoke. A robust and vigorous dram, best enjoyed with robust friends over vigorous conversation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1629893952073-ARLF89M1FIZ6ERR13BUW/jonny%2Bmacmillan.jpg Caol Ila - Jonny McMillan “Peat and sherry is a difficult balancing act to get right, and whenever choosing to rerack a heavily peated whisky into sherry I quake at the idea of the Whiskyfun reviews, but actually I think we’ve got the balance just right here, it’s a great dram.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/8b1ba792-bfe9-499d-b2ca-178e9a7da1c8/Caol+ILA+%23311750-A.jpg Caol Ila - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://bbrspirits.com/glen-moray-summer-release-2023 daily 0.75 2023-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/de80c9fd-7562-4ef0-8480-791a9a095eb5/GLEN_M%7E1.JPG Glen Moray - Tasting Notes The nose immediately offers notes of banana milkshake, praline ice cream, and marzipan with cherry and apricot emerging with time. Dried banana and sweet wheat both show on the palate with waves of vanilla pods, sweet oak and cereals. The finish is long giving cocoa, rice pudding and fruit salad. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1634208196409-TT5GE16W4NM8K4POB25Y/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-our-experts-rob-whitehead-opt.jpg Glen Moray - Rob Whitehead “This distillery produces whiskies that might act as an epitome of the entire, beautiful Speyside region, especially when the sun is shining and the world seems bright! This ex-bourbon barrel matured example is sweetly nutty and juicily awash with chewy granola goodness!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/d574a287-2999-4fe5-b43c-99ad74b6c34b/Glen+Moray+%235711-A.jpg Glen Moray - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://bbrspirits.com/agitator-collective-1-pioneers daily 0.75 2023-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/54363c49-d680-43c2-85f3-41c763f2a98d/BBR+Agitator+2018+%23741+front.jpg Agitator - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/27f74528-4e0d-4fa5-94ff-166c67dad171/AGITAT%7E1.JPG Agitator - Tasting Notes Produced with 40ppm barley and fermented with a Saison yeast, buckle up! The nose is near overwhelmingly complex, dried mushrooms, forest floor, peat smoke, wonderfully umami. The palate is pleasantly dirty, bringing notes of new leather, pink wafer biscuits, garden bonfire with a pleasing coastal backbone. Smoke and dried fruit linger on a stunned palate. Idiosyncratic brilliance, distilled by either a madman or a genius. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/5ebe77d4-e46d-4137-89e2-f8d79736ce34/oskar+bruno+agitator+2.jpg Agitator - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://bbrspirits.com/belgrove-collective-1-pioneers daily 0.75 2023-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/f428492d-5c8f-44cb-9962-4fd5ba4c9415/BBR+Belgrove+2016+%23170216.jpg Belgrove - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/e7fc01a3-4de9-4eb8-a718-14a6e739a9cd/Peter+Bignell+Smilling+about+Rye+Whisky.jpg Belgrove - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/65017dd3-511a-4ba7-9016-0cf74518bd0e/BELGRO%7E1.JPG Belgrove - Tasting Notes The nose immediately makes clear that this glass contains a huge, characterful dram. Farmyard aromas introduce rye dough, spiced vanilla, popcorn and warm gingerbread. These flavours are only magnified on the palate with burnt sugar and salted caramel cascading into rye beer, shortbread and clove. Spice lingers on the finish. This is an immense, intense and unique offering from the distilling folk hero of Tasmania. https://bbrspirits.com/the-oxford-artisan-collective-1-pioneers daily 0.75 2023-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/6d7fd78d-1803-4ef4-824b-0bb268d2e9a8/BBROXF%7E2.JPG The Oxford Artisan - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/77dc4944-836d-43a1-ae8b-df39fa1edc75/TOAD_Nautilus+2.jpg The Oxford Artisan - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/fdb47704-3208-4c88-aa53-d3cf2ec33040/OXFORD%7E1.JPG The Oxford Artisan - Tasting Notes This refill cask allows the rye distillate to sing with enticing savoury aromas of white chocolate, Danish rye bread and dark chocolate on the nose. The palate brings out more full-bodied rye notes, alongside citrusy Japanese Miyagawa, poppy seeds and spice. Few producers put as much thought into their grain and this dram serves as testament to that wisdom. https://bbrspirits.com/westland-collective-1-pioneers daily 0.75 2023-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/2de4d0a7-74c0-4526-ad2d-953ef66b2018/BBRWES%7E1.JPG Westland - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/b2ce900c-1ed1-4b89-9ae8-a6a6820c79bb/Westland_Exterior_2.jpg Westland - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/c9c9e830-10c4-43eb-bfdf-d34b1e87c796/WESTLA%7E1.JPG Westland - Tasting Notes The nose offers juicy notes of ripe pawpaw, apricot and luscious oak as an inviting glimpse of what’s to come. The palate is notably thick, showing phenomenally firm structure with apricot jam, mango, brioche and fudge coating the mouth. Fruit and nut chocolate flavours linger on the finish with a moreish sensation. This is a masterful pairing of supreme spirit and oak from one of the USA’s finest distilleries. https://bbrspirits.com/glenwyvis-collective-1-pioneers daily 0.75 2023-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/b2b0744b-60b0-4c99-97b0-974cacf4c346/BBRGLE%7E1.JPG Glenwyvis - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/269c28ab-cb57-4625-b617-0c9533d0e71c/Matthew+Farmer_Glenwyvis+distillery.jpg Glenwyvis - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/f865b419-2797-4a4c-9cfb-83eb0bb61985/GLENWY%7E1.JPG Glenwyvis - Tasting Notes Vibrant aromas of fresh fruit sing from the glass with honeyed cantaloupe melon, warm gorse and zesty green apples. A zap of citrus opens the palate, bringing spiced pears, soft vanilla and more crisp apple. Pine wood and cinnamon dance together across the finish. This is a wonderfully invigorating Highland malt and would be perfect to enjoy in a crisp breeze on the summit of Ben Wyvis. https://bbrspirits.com/arbikie-collective-1-pioneers daily 0.75 2023-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/2b8d23bf-cd0e-4fac-b249-5c145453b217/BBR+Arbikie+2017+%2369_front.jpg Arbikie - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/4f396233-2778-4492-b6ae-638e787b5647/Stirling-Brothers-_Arbikie.jpg Arbikie - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/d7aabfed-6afa-48bf-a61c-3f0a5f68c606/ARBIKI%7E1.JPG Arbikie - Tasting Notes Sweet aromas of Icelandic rye bread, honeyed sponge cake and cloves open the bouquet with some nutmeg emerging with time. The palate is lively and joyous, showing sweet rye spice, crème brûlée and dark chocolate cookies. It is immensely quaffable. Baking spice and dry rye come in waves over the finish. Scotland isn’t known for its rye whisky but if this dram is anything to go by, it soon will be. https://bbrspirits.com/ncnean-collective-1-pioneers daily 0.75 2023-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/c047041c-5bce-4ca2-875f-38b16822c9c6/BBR+Nc%27nean+2017+%23198+front.jpg Nc’nean - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/0a245f32-a462-4cb3-a63d-23e9391380c6/Annabel+Thomas+Nc%27Nean.jpg Nc’nean - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/8378ee5f-f46b-4060-b68f-e82028efbb29/NCNEAN%7E1.JPG Nc’nean - Tasting Notes Luscious green fruit aromas rise from the glass with animated notes of pear drop, wine gums and tinned pineapple emerging with time. The palate shows more weight with excellent balance of fresh orchard fruits and some fermentation driven tropicality. A wave of marzipan and coconut follow with the addition of water. This is a wonderfully characterful Highland dram with plenty to say both inside and outside of the glass. https://bbrspirits.com/shortcross-collective-1-pioneers daily 0.75 2023-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/294537c2-d1d6-4d21-8333-2f94f6a10477/BBRSHO%7E1.JPG Shortcross - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/a23aaadc-20ab-4476-8f3a-8d3e040230b7/Shortcross+Distillery.jpg Shortcross - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/90a3df4f-e096-41b7-9207-8ba4dac0ba8d/SHORTC%7E1.JPG Shortcross - Tasting Notes This Irish Pot Still explodes out of the glass with an incredible array of fruits. Notes of dried pineapple and mango, grapefruit fizz and lemon oil all astound the senses. The palate shows a masterful balance of wood and fruity distillate. The powerful, oak-driven vanilla flavour integrates perfectly with honeyed tropicality from the spirit. Clove rock and cinnamon rolls over the finish. The term ‘fruit bomb’ barely does justice to describing this magical pot still whiskey. https://bbrspirits.com/ardamurchan-collective-1-pioneers daily 0.75 2023-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/94b2369e-f3e7-429d-8dbf-2a3bff8a65d3/BBRARD%7E2.JPG Ardnamurchan - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/07a4d3e4-aa47-4e76-940c-6aec06efb890/Ardamurchan+Distillery.jpg Ardnamurchan - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/118b801e-8c20-4964-b3da-6e11fc9202b4/ARDNAM%7E1.JPG Ardnamurchan - Tasting Notes The nose opens with vibrant aromas of bacon fat and cocoa powder lunging from the glass. The palate follows suit with flavours of smokey bacon, farmyard, tea leaves and warm blackcurrants. It is a masterclass in peaty complexity. More dark cocoa shows on the finish with lingering smoke. This is a powerful statement from the young distillery, perhaps Brora’s baby brother. https://bbrspirits.com/jean-luc-pasquet-collective-1-pioneers daily 0.75 2023-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/35f27239-9b14-44fc-be5a-44a3df68f498/BBRJEA%7E1.JPG Jean-Luc Pasquet - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/fa73c1bb-a99c-49b3-889f-05261e1da0ff/AmyJean+JLP.jpg Jean-Luc Pasquet - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/7b1b8420-1faf-4ad1-ab23-4a276cd85a28/PASQUE%7E1.JPG Jean-Luc Pasquet - Tasting Notes Aromas of luscious, aged Sauternes and fruit sorbet drift from the glass, building with time into a crisp minerality. The palate is heavenly. Flavours of fruit salad chews, peach skins, apricot and mango all with a squirt of lime juice, dance with perfect balance massaging the senses. Peach, bubble-gum and sweet sake notes linger on the finish. This is exceptional and a prime example of a meticulous producer working in tandem with nature to create a world-class spirit. https://bbrspirits.com/balmenach-2011-autumn-release daily 0.75 2023-09-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/11fca583-87e7-45ca-b6e4-b0db50193326/Balmenach+%23120-A.jpg Balmenach 2011 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1629893952073-ARLF89M1FIZ6ERR13BUW/jonny%2Bmacmillan.jpg Balmenach 2011 - Jonny McMillan “This dram’s pale colour may turn off some looking for a wood driven feast, but I love these quite austere highland distillates with bags of grassy citrus notes – perhaps closer to barley eau de vieu, but I love the purity, and crisp fruit notes.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/4a5c7ae6-5a8e-465a-8bd0-9298b1d88089/Balmenach_2011_spidergraph_HR.jpg Balmenach 2011 - Tasting Notes At first sniff, zesty and grassy notes rise out the glass followed by vibrant green fruits and orange. The palate is wonderfully citrusy, with tangy Granny Smith apples and a pleasing dollop of spirit sulphur. The finish brings grilled lime, barley sweets and a touch of hay. This is a thoroughly pleasing, distillate driven dram. https://bbrspirits.com/small-batch-linkwood-autumn-release-2023 daily 0.75 2023-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/aaf149b5-1d79-471e-be86-fcfbf43b2685/Small+Batch+Linkwood++%23303770-1-3-A.jpg Small Batch Linkwood 2013 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/21acfb60-a8b7-4d94-94df-47bd00452434/Linkwood_2013_SB_spidergraph_HR.jpg Small Batch Linkwood 2013 - Tasting Notes This is an excellent example of Bourbon cask matured Speyside. Aromas of warm Victoria sponge, buttery coconut and fudge lure you into the glass. The palate follows the theme with spiced vanilla yoghurt, aniseed, and toasted oak before lighter stewed apple and pear come to the fore. Spice shows through on the finish alongside a lick of vanilla iced tea. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1629893952073-ARLF89M1FIZ6ERR13BUW/jonny%2Bmacmillan.jpg Small Batch Linkwood 2013 - Jonny McMillan “Linkwood is a glorious light and fruity whisky, one of my favourite drams to enjoy before dinner. This example shows a nice balance of fruit peaches and luscious vanilla, very enjoyable.” https://bbrspirits.com/glenlossie-autumn-release daily 0.75 2023-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/e147f589-e42f-44c5-9d8c-2ab956e659b0/Glenlossie+%234883-A.jpg Glenlossie 2010 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1625230311818-QTIZQ7IRO0Z80RWNY0JI/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-small-batch-linkwood-expert-rob-whitehead.jpg Glenlossie 2010 - Rob Whitehead “With attractive orchard fruits on the nose, this Glenlossie is yet another example of the quiet beauty of one of Speyside’s lesser-known treats. Chewy barley and citrus peels interplay on the palate with continuing apple and pear flesh. This whisky is an absolute pleasure to drink and share, especially on long autumnal evenings.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/4e7d1bd2-8ded-442d-a239-d7a7fe14d802/Glenlossie_2010_spidergraph_HR.jpg Glenlossie 2010 - Tasting Notes This Glenlossie – matured in a first fill ex-Bourbon cask – sings from the glass, announcing itself with rich flavours of spiced crème brûlée, fresh apples, lime zest, vanilla pods and clove. It is a huge, muscular whisky. This theme continues on the palate, demanding your attention with waves of fresh shortbread, wood spice, fresh fruit and a touch of new leather. This style of wood-forward whisky works wonderfully at cask strength as the alcohol integrates beautifully with the rich character. Cinnamon and cloves linger on the finish, leaving one thoroughly impressed and ready for that second sip. https://bbrspirits.com/linkwood-2010-christmas-edition-autumn-release-2023 daily 0.75 2023-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/69dd13a9-ea8b-498c-bde5-0399331586bf/Linkwood+%23301233-A.jpg Linkwood 2010 Christmas Edition - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/99f3bd18-4db9-452a-9bef-8068c26f51cb/Joe+-+Black+%26+White+Headshot.jpg Linkwood 2010 Christmas Edition - Joe Whittaker “Linkwood’s light and fruity distillate, aged in a hogshead and finished in that most festive of casks, the Pedro Ximenez, gives notes of zesty orange, apricot jam, marzipan, dark chocolate, and warming spices. It’s a dram that has Christmas Day dessert covered – if you can wait that long.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/02403065-8beb-453e-bb55-774372457936/Linkwood_2010_spidergraph_HR.jpg Linkwood 2010 Christmas Edition - Tasting Notes Spice and apricot jelly aromas tease on the nose before vanilla and nutmeg develop with time. The palate is a pleasing balance of orange liqueurs, dark chocolate and marzipan all rolled in a layer of oak and cinnamon. More orange notes roll across the finish alongside apricots and clove. This is a hugely fulfilling dram so after a long Christmas day, have yourself a merry little Linkwood. https://bbrspirits.com/wire-works-autumn-release-2023 daily 0.75 2023-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/8e84fd27-dd51-4342-9b73-0359316d01c1/Wire+works+%28White+Peak%29+English+single+malt+%23128-A-2.jpg Wire Works 2018 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1629893952073-ARLF89M1FIZ6ERR13BUW/jonny%2Bmacmillan.jpg Wire Works 2018 - Jonny McMillan “Rob and I tasted this cask sample together in the tasting room at White Peak, and it immediately stood out to us with it’s powerful spicy character and subtle fruit driven distillate, it’ll be a pleasure to try this one again from the bottle!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/fea4f313-b195-4bac-9271-513021f93b31/White_Peak_2018_spidergraph_HR.jpg Wire Works 2018 - Tasting Notes Matured in a barrel left over smoke after the charring process, this whisky showcases the deliciously fruity distillate found at White Peak Distillery and pairs it with dense oak and complex smokes. Wood smoke and peat smoke delicately wisp around on both the nose and finish. Flavours of skin-on almonds, toasted spices and touches of nectarine make this a splendid Derbyshire dram. https://bbrspirits.com/ledaig-2009-autumn-release daily 0.75 2023-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/5070306b-9a7e-4841-84de-83b03b772fd9/Ledaig+%23700327-A.jpg Ledaig 2009 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1634208196409-TT5GE16W4NM8K4POB25Y/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-our-experts-rob-whitehead-opt.jpg Ledaig 2009 - Rob Whitehead “This cask reaffirms my belief that Ledaig is one of the greatest unheralded peated whiskies of Scotland. Rarely appearing when larger brands dominate, this offering from Tobermory shows fern, bracken and forest-floor in abundance. Unusually, I find some orange oil, presumably from the interplay between spirit and ex-sherry cask. Savoury peat flows through the palate and seemingly transmutes into liquorice root and even some singed tarragon, before magically devolving back into leaves and smoke for the softly lingering finalé.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/412156b1-03fa-445f-a81e-4caec67b40b7/Ledaig_2009_spidergraph_HR.jpg Ledaig 2009 - Tasting Notes Smoked bacon, grilled meats and bonfire ash draw you into this glass before it develops into peat bogs, hearths and soot. Everything deepens on the palate bringing more smoked meats, with Cullen skink and wood smoke. Lingering savoury smoke and cocoa endure on the palate. A dram to enjoy while Mulling over why peat devotees always flock to Islay. https://bbrspirits.com/savanna-2016-autumn-release-2023 daily 0.75 2023-09-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/e241ea9f-9a04-4d7f-93f4-82c02d191e08/Reunion+Rum+%2310+Red+Wine+Finish-A-2.jpg Savanna 2016 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1634208196409-TT5GE16W4NM8K4POB25Y/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-our-experts-rob-whitehead-opt.jpg Savanna 2016 - Rob Whitehead “Densely spiced and inflected with heady red fruits, this first-ever bottling under the Berry Bros. & Rudd label from the Indian Ocean island of Réunion is a big, generous Rum. An expansive palate of green, tropical fruit, gooey treacle spice and sweet Rum “funk” leads to a moreishly tannic finish and purple jams and exotic woods. A few drops of water opened things up very well for me, but too many sadly drowned all those lush fruits.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/af087068-4686-4e37-be1d-4ec0bf61f1e0/Reunion_Rum_2016_spidergraph_HR.jpg Savanna 2016 - Tasting Notes Spirit and wood have engaged in a dramatic tango in this rum and it’s a slow dance with the elements infusing. There is a smokiness, spice, soft vanilla and red wine scent from the glass. The spice and herb scents hit with cinnamon and a touch of fennel hidden behind ripe berry fruit. The palate has a delightfully earthy grip which has the last word. https://bbrspirits.com/dufftown-1975-autumn-release daily 0.75 2023-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/0846d59f-051c-4a94-90de-b1588cc83dbe/ESC+Dufftown+%2310430-A.jpg Dufftown 1975 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1634208196409-TT5GE16W4NM8K4POB25Y/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-our-experts-rob-whitehead-opt.jpg Dufftown 1975 - Rob Whitehead “Utterly brilliant! An insistently twinkling affirmation of Whisky’s ability to nourish the soul and nurture the senses. As if some impish mid-1970s Speyside miscreant has taken a lusciously cherry-laden, spice-drenched fruit loaf and placed it inside an oiled, polished sandalwood trunk that is so deep that one needs to strain arms, head, and body all the way down inside to grasp it, the exertion of which causes a full draught of air to be taken deeply through both the nose and mouth and into the furthest alveolic recesses of the lungs.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/ca0d9752-e20c-41d9-b8bc-84935b7862ac/Dufftown_1975_spidergraph_HR.jpg Dufftown 1975 - Tasting Notes Bottled at natural strength, this suave, old dram makes an entrance with beguiling aromas of buttered toast, rosewater and wildflower meadows. The palate gently builds with 45 years of character displaying fruit salad chews, sandal wood, argan oil and smoked pineapple. Warm cherries pop on the back palate. A long and contemplative finish brings subtle spice and orange zest. https://bbrspirits.com/products/single-cask-whisky-and-rum daily 0.75 2024-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1710762009477-3CDRGICISONKANGAS518/SC%2BUK-Knockdhu%2B%25237127-Front.jpg Single Cask Whisky & Rum Products -

Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production. This is one such cask. Cask: #4348 Cask type: Bourbon Barrel Region: Islay Age: 10 Year of distillation: 2010 Bottled: 2021 ABV: 60.2% No. of bottles: 225 RRP: £200 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/68594746-1b89-4b64-a6d4-81714d0ef92d/IRISH+SPIDERGRAPH.JPG Irish Reserve - Tasting Notes Grassy and herbaceous notes introduce this delightful Irish whiskey, setting the stage with a fresh and invigorating profile. The nose unfolds with a blend of custard cream, lively spice, and zesty lime, deepening into the enticing aroma of succulent, ripe apples. On the palate, a harmonious mix of vanilla and soft fruits creates a creamy, well-rounded sensation. The texture is both lush and oily, lending a luxurious mouthfeel that's perfectly balanced by a crisp apple acidity. The finish is both refreshing and complex, leaving a lasting and memorable impression. https://bbrspirits.com/williamson-2015-winter-release-2023 daily 0.75 2023-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/5d403717-7ade-4646-b4b3-51207b89c144/Williamson+%23180-Front.jpg Williamson 2015 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/99f3bd18-4db9-452a-9bef-8068c26f51cb/Joe+-+Black+%26+White+Headshot.jpg Williamson 2015 - Joe Whittaker “A robust, hearty offering from Williamson, a dram designed to keep you warm on the coldest winter nights. The initial nose offers an enthralling blend of football match Bovril, big hay smoke and intriguing dark chocolate oranges. It’s why Williamson is my perfect winter dram.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/47db8540-3975-4e34-be92-8ece276d5d73/WILLIA%7E1.JPG Williamson 2015 - Tasting Notes This feisty Islay whisky surges from the glass on a gale of sooty peat, turf, iodine and lanolin oils. Herein lies great complexity, unlocked by a teaspoon or so of water and a little time. Those with patience are rewarded with rich farmyard aromas, smoked hay, damp earth and kippers. The palate follows this theme, flowing from pure turf smoke to dark orange chocolate and composting fruit. Smoke and spice flow in waves on the long finish. https://bbrspirits.com/esc-miltonduff-1990-winter-release-2023 daily 0.75 2023-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/102030c2-8dd9-41c3-9485-395cf5896654/Miltonduff+%233809-Front.jpg ESC Miltonduff 1990 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1629893952073-ARLF89M1FIZ6ERR13BUW/jonny%2Bmacmillan.jpg ESC Miltonduff 1990 - Jonny McMillan “This Miltonduff shows a wonderful rich peach note which I’ve found in similar distillates and often develops in their third decade, a soft yet concentrated stone fruit note that’s always a pleasure to discover.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/5bf1b119-b674-4eb6-aecc-7933e2ef4d53/MILTON%7E1.JPG ESC Miltonduff 1990 - Tasting Notes This elegant Speyside dram gently rises from the glass with soft notes of coconut, warm malt loaf and stewed, spiced apples. A little time in the glass brings out candied pecans and peach skin. The palate is wonderfully fresh and vibrant with spice, soft fruit, citrus and honey. There is a perfect balance of subtle oak and fresh, peach driven distillate. Once again, we are reminded there is no substitute for long maturation in a delicate refill cask. https://bbrspirits.com/small-batch-caol-ila-2011-winter-release-2023 daily 0.75 2023-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/9fb1c851-3c29-45b8-90df-21cb52b8efab/Small+Batch+Caol+Ila+%28%23312197-7+and+310429%29-Front.jpg Small Batch Caol Ila 2011 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/99f3bd18-4db9-452a-9bef-8068c26f51cb/Joe+-+Black+%26+White+Headshot.jpg Small Batch Caol Ila 2011 - Joe Whittaker “In the world of certainties - death, taxes, and the excellence of Caol Ila whisky - this small batch maintains its promise. A dram that is filled with Christmas chocolate oranges, spices and that Caol Ila smoke. Just great!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/b8c20454-e9dc-4559-bf4b-3953ca3f79f5/CAOL_I%7E1.JPG Small Batch Caol Ila 2011 - Tasting Notes Fresh aromas of warm orange, chocolate, peat smoke and unlit cigars rise slowly from the glass before a lighter note of sugared almonds appears. The palate is luscious and heavily peated whilst fruity orange, savoury peat, cocoa powder and grilled lime all balance perfectly. Clove and yet more orange linger long on the palate. This is something akin to a peated chocolate orange. https://bbrspirits.com/clarendon-2008-winter-release-2023 daily 0.75 2023-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/d42dd64c-71a2-4357-a997-c77deb6c3437/Jamaica+Rum+%238+%28Clarendon+County+Distillery%29-Front.jpg Clarendon 2008 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1625230311818-QTIZQ7IRO0Z80RWNY0JI/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-small-batch-linkwood-expert-rob-whitehead.jpg Clarendon 2008 - Rob Whitehead “Maraschino cherries, wildflower honeys, lime juice and brand new luxury carpets greet me here. The palate presents the intriguing note of the engine bay of a brand new pick-up truck freshly warm from a fairly aggressive test drive. Scrumpy cider, continued maraschino and burnt BBQ rib tips add to the fascinatingly funky finish.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/9050c5ec-7aff-4fde-95ba-427cf5137f0c/JAMAIC%7E1.JPG Clarendon 2008 - Tasting Notes The rich nose on this rum is honeyed, smoky and with hints of diesel, banana and vanilla. As rich as you would expect from a Jamaican rum, this oozes class. This is largely due to the restraining fruits controlling the stronger elements and it being drawn from the cask in its prime. On the palate, it takes a while for the alcohols to dissipate but the balance of flavours integrate to give a lasting, rich and memorable taste. The finish lingers with the prevalent diesel and banana notes still bound in honey. The final impression leaves me with memories of sandy beaches in the sunshine. This is a very pleasing rum. https://bbrspirits.com/lunar-new-year-dailuaine-2012-winter-release-2023 daily 0.75 2023-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/7386cb6b-4464-45ad-8c36-95b929ccd346/Dailuaine_2012_%235052_CNY_front_HR.jpg Lunar New Year Dailuaine 2012 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1629893952073-ARLF89M1FIZ6ERR13BUW/jonny%2Bmacmillan.jpg Lunar New Year Dailuaine 2012 - Jonny McMillan “When I’m looking at what casks to rerack into fresh wood I generally prefer to select muscular distillates that can match powerful oak, so Dailuaine is an obvious choice.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/f8596043-c0b8-42f8-925d-30d6a0c71863/DAILUA%7E1.JPG Lunar New Year Dailuaine 2012 - Tasting Notes Aromas of grassy, light green fruits fly out of the glass followed closely by tell-tale signs of thick, Sherry wood. Prunes, dates and spiced oak scale the olfactory senses. The palate is rich and full, holding one’s attention but balancing between distillate-driven orchard fruits and heavier Sherry notes. Spice roars across the finish building in intensity with a puff of wood smoke at the tip. Dailuaine’s heavy spirit is made for Sherry cask maturation and this meaty Oloroso butt has embraced the challenge beautifully. https://bbrspirits.com/blair-athol-2010-winter-release-2023 daily 0.75 2023-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/7252b3bc-557d-4975-bd41-8a232ec2c10f/Blair+Athol+%23303302-Front.jpg Blair Athol 2010 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/99f3bd18-4db9-452a-9bef-8068c26f51cb/Joe+-+Black+%26+White+Headshot.jpg Blair Athol 2010 - Joe Whittaker “Who needs a dessert when you have this fruity and luscious number to hand. A nose reminiscent of Danish pastries, with ripe fruit the most discerning of Patissier chefs would be proud of, with marzipan and a vein of vanilla throughout.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/0e4983ed-0f30-4ded-8551-e96abe9fe2d6/BLAIR_%7E1.JPG Blair Athol 2010 - Tasting Notes A prelude of spiced, stewed apples and warm apricots tantalise on the nose of this whisky. Soft, sweet aromas of mango, peach and vanilla build with time. The palate is pleasingly textured with apricot jam, honey, green apples and a touch of marzipan across the back palate. Spice and fruit linger on the finish offering fresh incentive for another sip. https://bbrspirits.com/strathclyde-2005-winter-release-2023 daily 0.75 2023-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/0700f28e-e726-46e4-acc3-ee832c708c07/Strathclyde+%23106490-Front.jpg Strathclyde 2005 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1629893952073-ARLF89M1FIZ6ERR13BUW/jonny%2Bmacmillan.jpg Strathclyde 2005 - Jonny McMillan “Although I’m not grain whisky’s greatest advocate, this cask speaks for itself, fresh fruits and vanilla cream soda are in perfect balance, a lovely fresh grain, perfect to start the evening.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/bb88cea8-f758-4696-9450-fbba38cb8e84/STRATH%7E1.JPG Strathclyde 2005 - Tasting Notes The nose is initially reticent but some time in the glass brings out subtle banana bread, coconut milk and peach. The palate, conversely, is a crescendo of rich vanilla, cream soda, desiccated coconut and dark chocolate. It is incredibly powerful and integrates well with the high alcohol. The finish brings tingling spice and more subtle vanilla. Grain whisky really hits its stride at around 18 years and this is a prime example. https://bbrspirits.com/cotswolds-2018-winter-release-2023 daily 0.75 2023-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/42642830-c4f8-4460-9963-7aadee1bda50/Cotswolds+English+Single+Malt+%232194-Front.jpg Cotswolds 2018 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1625230311818-QTIZQ7IRO0Z80RWNY0JI/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-small-batch-linkwood-expert-rob-whitehead.jpg Cotswolds 2018 - Rob Whitehead “Notes of stone fruit are first to appear on the nose, notable plums and firm apricots. Oak follows and supports with a toothsome texture as the palate unfolds. The finish shows malty richness and has a savoury orange inflection befitting a wintertime treat!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/5f701afb-4a69-4d3c-82c3-5010844410c9/COTSWO%7E1.JPG Cotswolds 2018 - Tasting Notes Aromas of dry, nutty Oloroso Sherry initially rise from the glass, building into dates, prunes and figs, before a little time to breathe reveals orchard fruits and a fresh floral side. The palate is pleasingly chewy, moving in waves from Sherry wood to green apples, honeycomb, and Victoria sponge. A long, lingering finish shows baking spice, prunes and a little citrus. https://bbrspirits.com/esc-benrinnes-1979-spring-release-2024 daily 0.75 2024-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/a3d443a2-4b66-4b3a-8ca6-c68b8df36bbe/Exceptional+Casks-Global-Benrinnes+%2362-Front.jpg ESC Benrinnes 1979 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/94290421-9bdd-45b2-9f62-cbf44e222782/Felix-Dear-headshots-21.jpg ESC Benrinnes 1979 - Felix Dear: “If War & Peace was a whisky; seemlessly flowing between distillate and oak, offering a world of complexity, this is exactly what deep age Scots whisky should be.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/751d60b4-470b-44fc-9750-87c0eccb9842/Exceptional+Casks-Global-Benrinnes+%2362-B.jpg ESC Benrinnes 1979 - Tasting Notes The crescendo of aromas in this whisky begins with musty hessian and attics before rising into honey-soaked pineapple and peaches. Magnificent hints of leather and elderflower soon follow. The palate expands on this theme with apricot jam, stewed apple and lychee before developing into antique oak, cigar boxes and musty earth. The finish offers dried fruits and aged tea. This kind of complexity requires nearly half a decade of quiet ageing so accept no substitute. https://bbrspirits.com/guyana-rum-2013-spring-release-2024 daily 0.75 2024-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/f41b7832-1c56-415a-8ad9-22e88ed463a6/SC-Global+Guyana+%2371-Front.jpg Guyana Rum 2013 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1634204630379-5L5I6C3RCR5RF7OSZB2R/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-our-experts-rob-whitehead-opt.jpg Guyana Rum 2013 - Rob Whitehead “A moment-or-two of air helps to bring forward juicy limes alongside the sweet molasses here on the nose, but the real fun begins on the palate with waves of sweet fudge, sticky honey and candied angelica. As ever from this brilliant distillery, the finish is deliciously moreish, with plums and more honey - this is a very tricky bottle to only pour once!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/12f7c7b9-0c31-473d-badf-de2f4602ec2c/Guyana+rum+lifestyle+image.PNG Guyana Rum 2013 - Tasting Notes This is a delightfully elegant and lightly fruity rum. A luscious bed of honey aromas develops into dry menthol notes. The palate is dry, initially, until the honey gathers pace to give succulent bursts of sweet fruit. https://bbrspirits.com/ardmore-2009-spring-release-2024 daily 0.75 2024-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1623ade1-570c-4d4e-a8cb-c27f70cc6420/SC-Intl+%26+BBR+Retail-Ardmore+%23709316-Front.jpg Ardmore 2009 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/e2fafc09-4e41-4ede-9ba1-7ff85f0084d6/Felix-Dear-headshots-21.jpg Ardmore 2009 - Felix Dear “Sweet and peat? Wine not. The Madeira cask imbues this smoky Highlander with a distinctive sweetness, enhancing its peaty profile with rich undertones of ripe stone fruits.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/420e48a0-0925-4fd0-b6fa-eebbb28b8663/Ardmore+lifestyle+image.PNG Ardmore 2009 - Tasting Notes This peaty Highlander has spent years luxuriating in a sweet Madeira cask. Its earthy aromas mingle nicely with sweet apricot notes and plenty of gummy fruits. The palate is wonderfully viscous with hugely chewy notes of fruity smoke, plums, charcoal, earthy peat, peaches and oak spice. There is huge complexity here. Lingering smoke comes in waves against an oily fruitiness. https://bbrspirits.com/craigellachie-2013-spring-release-2024 daily 0.75 2024-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/2851cc71-134e-423c-a340-054105d534b5/SC-Intl+%26+BBR+Retail-Craigellachie+%23302039-Front.jpg Craigellachie 2013 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1634204630379-5L5I6C3RCR5RF7OSZB2R/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-our-experts-rob-whitehead-opt.jpg Craigellachie 2013 - Rob Whitehead “Toasted grains proliferate on nose and palate with granola and syrup-drenched sponge cake. The time in ex-Margaux wine cask has studded some glacé cherries in the cake and given extra wood-weight to Craigellachie's already not-incosiderably girthy finish!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/ceca6dc0-437a-49eb-8e9f-aefd40bc0d84/Craellechie+lifestyle+image.PNG Craigellachie 2013 - Tasting Notes Craigellachie’s muscular spirit shows emerging aromas of fresh hay, malt and fireworks, before orchard fruits and a softer floral side of rose petals and Port. The palate is notably thick, with more barley, eau de vie, underripe vanilla and blackberries before a puff of wood smoke and digestive biscuits appear. The finish is long and one can feel the spirits oils lingering and showing a touch of peppery spice. https://bbrspirits.com/knockdu-2012-spring-release-2024 daily 0.75 2024-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/dbe6c29e-e3a5-4c40-91da-97c1d9759aaa/SC+UK-Knockdhu+%237127-Front.jpg Knockdu 2012 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/99f3bd18-4db9-452a-9bef-8068c26f51cb/Joe+-+Black+%26+White+Headshot.jpg Knockdu 2012 - Joe Whittaker “Not often seen from Indie Bottlers, it's always a pleasure to see a single cask from this idiosyncratic distillery.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/45cef4a4-858b-4bbb-aade-bc799cf5653d/Knockdhu+lifestyle+image.PNG Knockdu 2012 - Tasting Notes This Knockdhu has a dry, nutty nose expanding with time in the glass. It shows almonds and walnuts before green fruits and banana bread notes appear. The palate is an equally complex meeting of fruits, wood spice and distillate-driven nuttiness, offering an excellent mouthfeel. A little tobacco dances across the finish, with a burst of citrus and some honeyed green fruits. https://bbrspirits.com/small-batch-glenslossie-2013-spring-release-2024 daily 0.75 2024-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/46e9149f-de81-4606-910a-656521d688b7/Small+Batch+Global-Glenlossie+%28%236136-6138%29-Front.jpg Small Batch Glenslossie 2013 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/9adf4938-6e20-4ee6-a879-ab8a844f6dc7/Felix-Dear-headshots-21.jpg Small Batch Glenslossie 2013 - Felix Dear “A great little Speysider, balancing fruity distillate and spicy oak, with the finish falling into the side of luscious, vanilla driven goodness.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/939d08de-402b-4a82-994d-59a5debc84b4/Small+Batch+Glenlossie+Lifestyle+image.PNG Small Batch Glenslossie 2013 - Tasting Notes Aromas of spiced vanilla yoghurt open the nose of this Glenlossie leading to warm orchard fruits and green boiled sweets. The palate is fresh with flavours of apples and pears with honey, caramel, and clove rock. A long finish brings waves of sweet fruit and lingering wood spice. https://bbrspirits.com/high-coast-peated-2012-spring-release-2024 daily 0.75 2024-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/e623d702-dc9f-4270-9e6e-fecb8539c008/SC-Global+High+Coast+Peated+%234333-Front.jpg High Coast Peated 2012 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/99f3bd18-4db9-452a-9bef-8068c26f51cb/Joe+-+Black+%26+White+Headshot.jpg High Coast Peated 2012 - Joe Whittaker “This dram encapsulates the wonder of this picturesque distillery—clean as the glacier water that flows by its front door, with a delightful warm, woody ash peat that evokes the mountain forests of the High Coast region. Finished in an Islay cask, it serves as a reminder of its origins. Absolutely delicious” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/82f6df34-70b0-4ee4-b6af-d0bac74c8bfd/High+Coast+lifestyle+image.PNG High Coast Peated 2012 - Tasting Notes The nose on this whisky is unmistakably High Coast. Opening with clean, chiselled peat smoke then fresh orchard fruit and icing sugar showing with time. The palate is powerful yet sophisticated and everything we’ve come to expect from this distillery. Peat smoke, crisp green apples, wood ash and some nice minerality shine through. The two years in an ex-Islay cask bring out a little more peat reek on a long finish. This is a wonderful dram from one of Sweden’s best. https://bbrspirits.com/esc-bowmore-1997-exclusive-bottling daily 0.75 2024-03-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/df5f365c-1402-47cb-b65c-5c976b90fe59/Single-Malt-Exceptional-Casks-89-1997-Bowmore-2024-March-BBR-1.jfif ESC Bowmore 1997 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/22a80c16-2d0a-4dde-b7f6-6db48fbabffa/Bowmore-2024-March-BBR-3.jpg ESC Bowmore 1997 - Tasting Notes The palate reveals cracked black pepper atop fresh Islay oysters, complemented by an oily and full texture.

Lochindaal 2010 Single Cask Bruichladdich’s standard make is, by Islay standards, a gentler sort of malt whisky, However from time to time the distillery uses heavily peated barley for its production. This is one such cask. Cask: #4348 Cask type: Bourbon Barrel Region: Islay Age: 10 Year of distillation: 2010 Bottled: 2021 ABV: 60.2% No. of bottles: 225 RRP: £200 https://bbrspirits.com/dailuaine-autumn-expert-copy daily 0.75 2022-12-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1629893952073-ARLF89M1FIZ6ERR13BUW/jonny%2Bmacmillan.jpg WR - Expert - Jonny McMillan “Texture is often overlooked as a key component of what makes a dram great, but I think consciously, or otherwise, most people do gravitate towards full bodied drams – and this Dailuaine is a prime example. I think the 46% bottling strength works really nicely here too, brings out the oily mouth feel a little more.” https://bbrspirits.com/dailuaine-autumn-tasting-notes-copy daily 0.75 2022-12-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/4b8c3c90-1439-4a4d-8ad1-fa335605213f/Dailuaine_2010_spidergraph_HR.jpg WR - Tasting Notes - Tasting Notes The nose is a complex bouquet of fresh, summery, floral notes, paired with a thicker almost tannic, vanilla aroma - all suggestive of the powerful dram that awaits to be savoured. The palate delivers waves of fresh fruit, dried pineapple, wood spice, barley sugars and beeswax shoe polish. Incredibly expressive for a younger dram at 46%, Dailuaine is often overlooked for its more famous cousin Mortlach, but it has a similarly chunky texture which shows wonderfully in this dram https://bbrspirits.com/dailuaine-autumn-distillery-copy daily 0.75 2022-12-22 https://bbrspirits.com/os-classic-range-rum-hero-1 daily 0.75 2023-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1677764315202-RCCK06C3SIQ7OABMKLP1/BBR-Spirits-2023-Rum_group-02.jpg OS - Classic Range Rum Hero (Copy) https://bbrspirits.com/masthouse-distillery-copy daily 0.75 2023-06-06 https://bbrspirits.com/brazil-rum-distillery-copy daily 0.75 2023-06-06 https://bbrspirits.com/dufftown-intro-copy daily 0.75 2023-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/354306b1-f8f7-4004-b981-a045b0d7fa62/Yorkshire_2017_spidergraph_HR.jpg Dufftown - Intro (Copy) - Tasting Notes The spirit was poured into first-fill ex-bourbon wood in February 2017, then re-racked for two and a half years into rich Pedro Ximénez wood. As with many bottlings from this brilliant distillery, the joy here is the interplay between cask and barley. Unlike most whisky-makers, our friends at Spirit of Yorkshire grow all their own barley and take an immense pride in doing so. Starting from such impeccable raw material in any endeavour gives the greatest chance of success. Here, paired with a potentially domineering ex Pedro- Ximénez Sherry cask, the rich, oily, grain sweetness is a delight. A scant few drops of water release even more sweetness alongside the opulent spice. https://bbrspirits.com/brazil-rum-expert-copy-1 daily 0.75 2023-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1625583266073-2R03A9MYVB1X0XYJ07IZ/berry-bros-and-rudd-spirits-single-cask-whiskies-and-rum-sutherland-expert-doug-mcivor.jpg Dufftown - Tasting Notes (Copy) - Doug McIvor “A dolly mixture nose provides confected fruit with dustings of coconut. The fruit becomes more concentrated giving some cranberry and blackcurrant. All is bright as the wood has not dominated and tannins are controlled. The palate is thick and rich with jammy red fruits that keep giving. All holds together well as the lingering finish plays out.” https://bbrspirits.com/collective-1-pioneers daily 0.75 2023-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1692631893930-S40PUNPQSUVZWBXDLRLM/BBR_CO%7E1.JPG Collective #1: Pioneers https://bbrspirits.com/os-collections-hero-copy daily 0.75 2023-09-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/1677069930384-GRWWXNF12FC7CKKKGR70/stylised-Nordic-cask-3.jpg OS - Collections Hero (Copy) https://bbrspirits.com/esc-bowmore-1997-intro-copy daily 0.75 2024-04-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/df5f365c-1402-47cb-b65c-5c976b90fe59/Single-Malt-Exceptional-Casks-89-1997-Bowmore-2024-March-BBR-1.jfif ESC Bowmore 1997 - Intro (Copy) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://bbrspirits.com/esc-bowmore-1997-tasting-notes-copy daily 0.75 2024-04-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d1cb13763e9a2b36d15fe0/22a80c16-2d0a-4dde-b7f6-6db48fbabffa/Bowmore-2024-March-BBR-3.jpg ESC Bowmore 1997 - Tasting Notes (Copy) - Tasting Notes The palate reveals cracked black pepper atop fresh Islay oysters, complemented by an oily and full texture. As it transitions to the finish this crescendo of flavour gradually ebbs away, akin to the slow retreat of tides on Bowmore beach.
