A Scot on Scotch

WHISKY REVIEWS, NEWS, HISTORY & FOLKLORE

Berry Bros & rudd, the oldest wine and spirits merchant in the UK, has refreshed its popular range of Classic Single Malt Whiskies.

The Classic Range showcases the essence of various regions and cask styles. Each whisky is chosen by Spirits Curator Felix Dear, then aged in Berry’s own casks to their exact specifications.

The existing range, which includes expressions from Islay and Ireland, has now been enhanced with the introduction of age statements for the very first time. The brand new Speyside Traditional Cask 16-year-old Single Malt Scotch Whisky joins the collection accompanied by a flavourful Speyside Sherry cask 12-year-old.

Standing alongside the two Speyside Single Malts within the range is the Islay Traditional Cask that embodies the classic characteristics of its region with soft peat smoke and complex fruity palate and the Irish Reserve Single Malt Irish Whiskey with its grassy and herbaceous yet zesty notes hailing from the iconic Great Northern distillery in Dundalk.

Felix Dear, Spirits Curator for Berry Bros. & Rudd, commented:

“The refresh of our Classic Range of Single Malt Whiskies marks a new chapter for Berry Bros. & Rudd. It is the touchstone of our whisky offering for whisky explorers and connoisseurs alike, and testimony to our constant pursuit of excellence and innovation. 

All four whiskies in the range have developed distinct intricate flavour profiles, perfect for everyday sipping.  Designed to be complex yet versatile and will pair perfectly with food or if you’re feeling adventurous – great also in a cocktail.”

The Classic Range, featuring Speyside Sherry Cask 12-Year-Old, Speyside Traditional Cask 16-Year-Old, Islay Traditional Cask and Irish Reserve will be available from Berry Bros. & Rudd (bbr.com) and other selected retailers from the 22nd of April.
