Blended Malt 44 Year Old - 1979 | Cask 5 | Exceptional Casks (Berry Bros & Rudd)
Berry Bros & Rudd have been supplying blended whisky dating back to the 19th century, so it's safe to say they know a thing or two about blends. This well-aged blended Scotch whisky has been matured for no less than 44 years, with the youngest element being from 1979. Released as part of the Exceptional Casks series and bottled from a sherry butt, it would be fascinating to know the history of this blend as it truly is sublime.
Tasting Notes
Awards
Nose
This sublime blend dances out of the glass: aromas of coconut and warm gorse flowers interweave with melting butter and honeyed toast - truly mouth-watering.
Palate
The palate is at once vibrant and vast, with notes of mango, delicate hemp, wood polish, beeswax and spiced fruit, all rolling around the mouth.
Finish
The finish offers more fruit, orange and lychee. An exceptionally complex and ever-evolving glass of whisky; if Tolstoy made whisky, it would taste like this.
