Craigellachie 1991, a 20 year old Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, distilled in 1991, and then laid to rest in cask 2715 . Bottled in 2011 by Berry Bros & Rudd. 

Delicate smoke emerges with buttered toast aromas. There is some yellow fruit skin sweetness edged with biscuit notes. The palate is full and rounded giving succulent fruity bursts. A lingering nutty and grassy finish caps the experience.

 

 

 Longmorn 1997 / 14 Year Old / Single Cask 163310

 

 

 

Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Berry Bros & Rudd
Single cask 163310 from the Longmorn Distillery, laid to rest in 1997 and aged for 14 years before being bottled in 2012 by wine & spirit merchant Berry Bros & Rudd. 

The name Longmorn is said to derive from an old Scottish word meaning “place of the holy man”. 

Fresh apples and pears come to the fore as the aromatics open. There is a creamy hint with some floral notes accompanied by a little pepper. The palate offers a mouth-filling burst of sweet fruit balanced by emerging spice. 

 Glen Grant 1974 / 37 Year Old / Single Cask 7643 

 

 

Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Berry Bros & Rudd 

Glen Grant 1974, aged in single cask 7643 for 37 years before being bottled at natural cask strength in 2012. 

Dried fruit aromas abound with prevailing orange peel and coffee grounds. The palate gives rich bursts of citrus as the flavours swell to give teasing performances from the fruit, nut and coffee sections. This is as graceful a classic old Speysider as one is likely to find and remarkably clean given its 37 years in the oak.

Another tremendous dram bottled by wine merchant, Berry Bros & Rudd.
