As is always the case with the Single Cask Collection launched by the British bottler Berry Bros. & Rudd, the most experienced in the market, the whisky has been finished for at least three years, this time in a cask that previously held Pineau des Charentes, a French fortified wine from the Cognac region. 303 bottles have been released for sale. 

 

 

 

Let's Taste It : 

The wine’s influence is significant, apple compote, fresh and stringy red berries, candied lemon, cinnamon tart, brown sugar, Muscat grapes, fermented cherries, liquid chocolate, red peppers, it’s pastry-like and slightly indulgent. On the palate, it is creamy, beetroot hummus, raspberry coulis, wild strawberries, woody notes, hairspray, lively spices, cardamom, ginger and nutmeg. The finish is quite long and complex, woody spices, pepper and cloves, drier fruits, dates, prunes, mirabelle plums, we enter the heart of the wood, without it being bitter. 

 

In Short, 

The finish plays a significant role here, shaping the whisky in its own image, and this may not be to everyone’s taste. It’s pleasant and subtle, but the wine-like and syrupy notes are still quite pronounced – you have to like that sort of thing. As for the price, it’s reasonable. If you’re drawn to this style, it’s worth giving it a try.
