Berry Bros & Rudd·The Auld & The BoldGlen Garioch

Berry Bros & Rudd Glen Garioch Cask Ref. 8029 is a single malt Scotch whisky bottled from a single cask at a natural-strength 55.1% ABV. It is a 14-year-old whisky distilled in 2011 and matured in an Oloroso sherry butt, a cask type often associated with richer, deeper flavours.

For a novice drinker, this style is likely to feel fuller and more intense than many standard bottlings, with the higher strength adding weight and concentration. Single-cask releases can show an individual character, and sherry cask maturation commonly brings notes linked to dried fruit, spice, and oak.
