2005 Berry Bros. & Rudd Orkney, Cask Ref. 25 & 26, Highland, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (60.1%)

Description

Some things just seem to work better together: turkey with cranberry sauce, Santa and Rudolph, pigs in blankets. This pair of casks complemented each other so magnificently that we vatted them together to allow each to share the other’s greatest features: one bringing richness and generosity of spirit, the other bringing structure and quiet wisdom. After an advent-like period of anticipatedly marrying these casks together, we’re delighted to now offer it for winter evening drams.

About this spirit

Orkney Distilleries

The bracing and beautiful archipelago of Orkney boasts two excellent distilleries on its largest Island, which is referred to by Orcadians as ‘Mainland’. Scapa is the smaller, with only two stills, and produces predominantly unpeated whiskies of elegance and subtle charm.Highland Park is the larger, although with only four stills is hardly a leviathan! The traditional style at Highland Park is a moderately peated spirit, aged in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks.

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.
