Berry Bros. & Rudd Classic Blended Malt Sherry Cask Matured
Blended Malt — Scotland
Reviewed December 4, 2022A gorgeous red auburn in color. This whiskey is a rich apple, vanilla, and chocolate on the nose. The palate is delightfully rich in spice. The finish is a bit floral with lingering chocolate. Delicious! -
I’m definitely picking up on the popcorn… it’s almost medicinal on the nose. The palate is an intense Christmas cake that dissolves into a peach yogurt. The finish is creamy popcorn flan 🍮 There’s so much here. I’m not going to be able to explore it all with 3cl. Adding far too much water… The nose becomes more medicinal and floral. The palate is sweet apple and pear pudding with a flaky biscuit crust. The finish is smoother and vanilla comes out to play in the grass and flowers. I love the Glenfarclas 15, but this is a different thing entirely. It reminds me of a “Bunnahabhain Stiùireadair”. I transferred some full strength whiskey to a tumbler glass instead of the Glencairn. Roasted nuts on the nose. The palate remains warmed fruits, cream. The finish is intense and long, lingering pepper, fruit, and milk chocolate. This is a big whiskey, one which is difficult to taste around. But its depth allows a lot of space to play.

Fresh pears, peaches, and vanilla on the nose. It’s delightfully inviting. Like a fruit pie picnic in an orchard on a cool, late summer day. The palate is vanilla custard topped with an apple and pear compote. The finish is medium in length and it peppery with a return of the orchard fruits. Add a little water… The orchard rewinds to the spring with fresh fruit blossoms. The palate becomes a bit more tart and the finish lingers longer.
