Whisky choices for the month

By BERRY BROS. & RUDD

Sherry Cask Blended

Malt Scotch Whisky

 £40

Enticingly dark in appearance, the Sherry Cask is invitingly seductive, and the bouquet has classic dark Sherry and prunelike notes. The palate gives sweet, well-balanced fruit on a Sherry bed, with a long, satisfying finish.

Islay Blended

Malt Scotch Whisky

 £40

The Islay Cask encapsulates the powerful Islay style with tarry, peaty and oceanic notes bound in a blanket of honey and yellow fruits. The fruitiness works excellently to di use the peaty and smoky influencers, carrying them on a creamy textured wave into the long finish.

Speyside Blended

Malt Scotch Whisky

 £40

The Speyside Cask delivers the essence of the region in a playful yet complex way. There is much fruitiness, mingled with fresh grassiness and honey sweetness which binds the flavours as they swell. Every element is balanced.
