Berry Bros & Rudd Williamson - The Auld & The Bold is a 15-year-old single malt whisky bottled from a single cask at a natural-feeling strength of 56.0% ABV. For a new drinker, that usually means a more individual bottling, with concentrated flavour and a character shaped by one barrel rather than a large batch.
The age statement suggests a balance between developed oak influence and the distillery’s underlying malt character. Expect a whisky that may open up well with a little water, which can make the aromas and flavours easier to explore.
