Berry Bros. & Rudd bottled this 2015 vintage single cask Scotch whisky from an Islay distillery that occasionally bottles single malt under the Williamson name. It's not particularly hard to figure out which one.
This feisty Islay whisky surges from the glass on a gale of sooty peat, turf, iodine, and lanolin oils. Herein lies great complexity, unlocked by a teaspoon or so of water and a little time. Those with patience are rewarded with rich farmyard aromas, smoked hay, damp earth, and kippers.
The palate follows this theme, flowing from pure turf smoke to dark orange chocolate and composting fruit.
Smoke and spice flow in waves on the long finish.
This is so full of flavor,density and subtlety combined! Lanolin,definitely,your taste buds are overwhelmed with flavor,just amazing,for me it's like looking at old photos,evoking memories.On further tasting you can distinguish individual notes,this is getting silly.An awesome whisky,up there,for me with Big Peat Xmas 22 and Port Askaig 100%!
