Berry Bros. & Rudd Undisclosed Islay 18 Year Old 2007 Cask #10004 Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Berry Bros. & Rudd Undisclosed Islay 2007 is a powerful 18 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky released as part of the Crafted in Cask collection. Distilled at an undisclosed Islay distillery in 2007, the whisky matured in a butt before receiving a Pedro Ximénez Sherry cask finish. It was bottled from Cask #10004 in 2025 at 56% ABV, with only 673 bottles produced.

Rich Pedro Ximénez influence combines with robust Islay peat to create a deeply smoky and fruit-driven whisky. Dark fruits, sticky raisins and golden syrup lead into savoury notes and dense smoke. The palate develops syrupy sweetness alongside ashy coal embers, roasted nutmeg and subtle herbal tones, while the finish remains long and smouldering with treacle, tobacco leaf and glowing embers.

Food Pairing: Pair with smoked brisket, barbecued pork, aged cheddar, roasted nuts, dark chocolate or rich dried-fruit desserts.
