2000 Berry Bros. & Rudd Sutherland, Cask Ref. 1434, Highland, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (52.2%)
- Scotch Whisky
Description
This enigmatic Highlander gives strong hints of its origin with powerful aromas of floral honey, antique furniture and fruit gums, suggesting the trademark waxiness of a certain famed distillery. The palate is wonderfully viscous, with the texture integrating perfectly with notes of warm honey, tarte tatin, almonds and pleasing hints of beeswax. The finish gives a passing note of wood smoke, before some spiciness and tobacco leaves appears toward the finish. An exquisite Highland whisky deserving of a quiet evening to enjoy its company.

Barley
Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
