Berry Bros & Rudd 2011 Balmenach Cask No. 121 12 Year Old 54.4%
Balmenach Distillery can be found at Cromdale, one of the crossing points on the upper stretches of the River Spey. Like many malt whiskies, very little is bottled as single malt, especially older examples. At first sniff, zesty and grassy notes rise out the glass followed by vibrant green fruits and orange. The palate is wonderfully citrusy, with tangy Granny Smith apples and a pleasing dollop of spirit sulphur. The finish brings grilled lime, barley sweets and a touch of hay. This is a thoroughly pleasing, distillate driven dram.
Berry Bros & Rudd Small Batch 2013 Linkwood Single Malt Whisky
This is an excellent example of Bourbon cask matured Speyside. Aromas of warm Victoria sponge, buttery coconut and fudge lure you into the glass. The palate follows the theme with spiced vanilla yoghurt, aniseed, and toasted oak before lighter stewed apple and pear come to the fore. Spice shows through on the finish alongside a lick of vanilla iced tea.
