Description
A blended Scotch whisky bottled in the 1970s at 8 years old, this Berry Bros. & Rudd release represents the house's approach to Scottish grain and malt combinations during a transitional era of the industry. Limited information on the specific grain and malt percentages survives, though Berry Bros.' selections of this period were typically well-balanced and approachable. The age and era suggest a lighter, more delicate profile than modern blends. A piece of recent Scotch whisky history, ideal for those interested in how blending houses worked in the pre-standardisation era.
