Berry Bros & Rudd: From Speyside to Sweden
Wine and spirits merchant, Berry Bros & Rudd, continues to celebrate the finest spirits from around the world with the launch of its 2024 Spring Release. The latest spirits lineup showcases the exceptional selection of whiskies and rum from both emerging and iconic regions, including Sweden, South America, Speyside and the Scottish highlands.
Speyside malts take centre stage with releases from Knockdhu, Craigellachie and Glenlossie sitting alongside a Benrinnes distilled in 1979 from the Exceptional Cask Collection. Accompanying the Speyside drams is a peated Madeira cask finish from highland distillery Ardmore.
Representing Swedish whisky craftsmanship and its flourishing distilling scene is a High Coast Peated 2012 and the final spirit in the series is a Guyanese rum.
Felix Dear, Spirits Curator for Berry Bros. & Rudd, commented:
“Building on the success of previous releases within our seasonal portfolio, we continue to pour our expertise and passion for spirit into selecting each bottle and curating these collections, with a goal of showcasing a diversity of flavour and makers. The 2024 Spring Release is no exception.
‘It is always a pleasure to shine a light on distilleries from the iconic Speyside and Highland regions, many a stone’s throw from where I have hosted whisky tastings in the past, as well as delving into the rich and exotic flavours of South American Rum and representing the burgeoning Swedish distilling scene.”
