2010 Berry Bros. & Rudd Ruadh Mhor, Cask Ref. 58, Highland, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (59.8%)
- Scotch Whisky
Description
A smoky beast this seems at first nosing, it's not such a monster on the first sips. A touch of water brings out an astonishing elegance and complexity, retaining the robustness and full-flavour of this rugged Highlander. Leather, blood-orange and rich ripe tobacco leaf are prevalent with a delicious earthy salinity underpinning this heavily peated beauty.

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.
