Before World War I; Before the Bolshevik revolution; quite before the great depression or the Whisky Prohibition; just when the XX century was "kicking off", independent bottlers Berry Bros. & Rudd bottled this blended malt. In my scottish journey, in Edinburgh i went into a great bar called "The Abbey", where they sell incredibly rare whiskies, and there were many that called my attention. One in particular was this Berry Bros 1910-1920 blended malt, which had no label, it came in a deep green bottled and had the cork replaced, because it obviously was damaged when opened. I ask the kind bartender to tell me more about the bottle and he said that they knew the dating of the blended malt, because it had an early King George V seal, who was the ruler of the UK since 1910. This of course was an opportunity that i could not let go. I did not waste any time and i grabed a sample to take back home and i picked a special moment to taste it, it was yesterday 20th of may, as a celebration for World Whisky Day 2023. For all i know, this dram which was distilled more than a 100 years ago, could have been drawn from the stills in the first decade of the 1900s. I have no more info to give you, except that if you go online and look for "the Abbey" Edinburgh bar, you will find it first on their whisky list. I believe less than 7 drams are left on the bottle. On the glass, it has a pale golden color. On the nose, it was quite amazing. Tangerine peel; chocolate with hazelnuts, sawdust. A thick caramel. White chocolate with almonds. After a first sip, the aroma gave me a maraschino cherry syrup for a moment; then it turned into coffee with milk. Lots of caramel notes, very sweet. Acid prunes. Impressive really. It was far less impressive on the palate, where it felt exactly as some 1950s and 1960s whiskies that i have had the opportunity to taste. Sawdust, caramel, burnt grass, hay. A second sip gave me a vanilla water and orange peel. It feels old, not in a sense of humidity or old books, but it resembles the whiskies from past decades that i have had before. Aftertaste was nice. It actually scared me for 5 seconds, since it was completely muted on the first sip, but after that short time, paper, spices and salt appeared out of nowhere. More sips revealed a long lasting finish with tobacco and cigar notes. It has this cowboy feeling overall. In conclusion, i can't be more excited for having tasted a whisky from the 1910s -1920s. I don't know many people that have the chance to do that. This is indeed a piece of history, and i think i am a blessed person to ever found it. The whisky itself is not bad, the nose is almost perfect; the palate and aftertaste is above average. A true score for this is 86 over 100, and now there is less of it in this planet because of me. Slàinte!
