2013 Berry Bros. & Rudd Teerenpeli, Cask Ref. 13B, Single Malt Whisky, Finland (59.9%)
- World Whisky
Description
This Oloroso hogshead needs a little time in the glass to open up fully; however, after five minutes or so, rich aromas of dates, barbeque sauce and honeyed gingerbread rise from the glass, building in intensity. The palate is very thick with an excellent mouthfeel, with notes of sugared almonds, blood orange and warm honey. A long finish shows a little cinnamon, and more waxy honey.

About this spirit
Teerenpeli Distillery
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.
