Berry Bros. & Rudd Williamson 2013 11 Year Old Coast And Shores #213 Oloroso Finish - Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Williamson comes from the spectacularly rocky Kildalton shoreline on the southern tip of Islay, known for its rugged beauty and iconic Scotch whiskies. Islay is part of the Inner Hebrides, a group of islands in the North Atlantic Ocean and home to some of the most iconic, recognisable flavours in the world of whisky.

Tasting Notes

The nose opens with opulent notes of dried fruits and sherry-soaked raisins, underscored by hints of brine, seaweed, and iodine. These aromas meld into a rich wave of dark chocolate and dried figs, leading to a crescendo of peat smoke - robust and medicinal, yet gracefully mellowed by the Oloroso cask's touch. This introduces sumptuous undertones of black cherries, leather, and a whisper of treacle. The finish resonates with lingering echoes of smoky embers, rounded off by a delicate whisper of salted caramel.
