2002 Berry Bros. & Rudd Macduff, Cask Ref. 900276, Highland, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (58.6%)
- Scotch Whisky
Description
We’re releasing this charity cask in collaboration with the MND association. A minimum of £60 per bottle will be donated to the MND Assocation, helping to fund vital research into finding meaningful treatments and a cure for MND (Motor Neurone Disease).
The colour is pale gold. The nose is cool and neat, fresh almonds and candied citrus steeped in camomile tea; the palate deep, fiery and complete. A Fino-style brightness leads a reel of roasted peach, haysmoke, pinhead oats and spiced white pear, flecked with harbour wall rock salt. The finish is firm and fresh, framed by the sweet evolution of 18 years in Sherry butt. Time in the glass, and a discretionary drop of water, is recommended to reveal the depth and complexity of this resplendent dram.

About this spirit
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.
