2005 Berry Bros. & Rudd Orkney, Cask Ref. 25 & 26, Highland, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (60.1%)
Some things just seem to work better together: turkey with cranberry sauce, Santa and Rudolph, pigs in blankets. This pair of casks complemented each other so magnificently that we vatted them together to allow each to share the other’s greatest features: one bringing richness and generosity of spirit, the other bringing structure and quiet wisdom. After an advent-like period of anticipatedly marrying these casks together, we’re delighted to now offer it for winter evening drams.

2009 Berry Bros. & Rudd Glen Spey, Cask Ref 804620, 10-Years, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (57.2%)
Originally known as Millhaugh, an extension to the Mill of Rothes, Glen Spey was converted from an oatmeal mill in 1878. The distillery is one of just a handful that use purifiers on the stills, resulting in greater reflux that leads to a lighter style of spirit.
The nose here is bright and fresh, with well-woven fruit notes accompanied by light buttery characteristics and a trace of smokiness. On the palate, sweet and rounded fruit is cut through with some nice toasty notes. Lingering, elegant and charming to the last.

2010 Berry Bros. & Rudd Auchroisk, Cask No 807784, Speyside, Single Malt Whisky (61%)
Auchroisk roughly translates from Gaelic as "shallow ford across the red river". This refers to the proximity of the distillery to the Mulben Burn, although it is the quality of water drawn from Dorie’s Well that is said to have decided the location of Auchroisk prior to construction in 1972.
There is a sweet fruitiness to the nose, with notes of red apple skin and custard cut by hints of paprika. The palate is thick and generous, with spice returning to add an enlivening and unusual kick to the fruit and rosewater elements. It’s lingering and complex to the last.

2009 Berry Bros. & Rudd Inchgower, Cask 803609, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (56.7%)
The aromas are crisp, clean and fruity with a drift of salt breeze. To taste, it is quite assertive with the fruitiness cut by a slightly dry edge and lingering salty tang, perhaps as a reminder of the distillery's coastal location.

Old Potrero 18th Century Style Pot Distilled Whiskey Single Malt, 51.2%
A cinnamon, nutmeg and peppery nose immediately thrusts the spicy signature of rye into the forefront of the conversation, with the savoury palate and moreishly dry finish confirming this impression. The gentle toasting of the barrels allows the oak to speak more quietly than in many American whiskies, moving more towards complex pecan and walnut, rather than luxuriant macadamia.

Berrys' Islay Reserve, Blended Malt Whisky, 46.0%
The small Hebridean island of Islay is famous for its heavily peat-smoke flavoured Malt Whiskies. Beyond the obvious peatiness each Islay Malt Whisky offers its own signature. Our Reserve has been created by our blenders to capture the very essence of the Islay style. Aromas reminiscent of quaysides emerge. Beyond the distinctive smoky core, there is a seam of subtle yellow fruit. The deep smokiness of the palate leaves a kiss of peat which lingers long into the finish. In short, this is an Islay drinker’s Islay.
