Read the Whisky Magazine tastings notes for whiskies from Berry Bros. & Rudd.

• Berry Bros. & Rudd Blue Hanger, 25 Years Old

• Berry Bros. & Rudd Blue Hanger, 30 Years Old

• Berry's Best Islay, 8 Years Old

• Berry's Best Lowland 12 Years Old

An fine dram to start off a tasting, but not enough interest to engage you the whole night long.

• Berry's Best Lowland 12 Years Old

• Berry's Best Orkney, 14 Years Old

Intense salt. Very slight iodine.

• Berry's Best Orkney, 14 Years Old

• Berry's Own Selection Aberfeldy 1997, 9 Years Old

• Berry's Own Selection Aberlour 1990, 15 Years Old

• Berry's Own Selection Aberlour 1994

Kicking up your heels as well as soothing. To be sipped far from the city buzz.

• Berry's Own Selection Auchentoshan 1983

Subtle aromas and flavours, but beautifully composed.

• Berry's Own Selection Auchentoshan 1991, 16 Years Old

• Berry's Own Selection Benrinnes 1989

Bizarrely, the nose reminded me of an Argentinian Torrontes. Where’s the famed Benrinnes meatiness?

• Berry's Own Selection Bladnoch 1992

So subtle it's barely there, but an intriguing mystery.

• Berry's Own Selection Bowmore 1995

A sunny malt. Quite sharp and spirity but a pleasant aromatic freshness. Could be a thirst quenching for some. Water does not cut all edges.

• Berry's Own Selection Bowmore 1996, 10 Years Old

• Berry's Own Selection Bruichladdich 1991

• Berry's Own Selection Caol Ila 1991, 15 Years Old

• Berry's Own Selection Caol Ila 1996

Intense and in character. A fairly simple Caol Ila but a goody.

• Berry's Own Selection Clynelish 1992

Tight and hard to love.

• Berry's Own Selection Clynelish 1992, 13 Years Old

• Berry's Own Selection Dailuaine 1985

Agood example of a little seen distillery.

• Berry's Own Selection Girvan 1989

An excellent refreshing dram. Well balanced, rich and light at the same time. Very enjoyable with chilled water.

• Berry's Own Selection Girvan Grain 1989

• Berry's Own Selection Glen Elgin 1975

By today's standards, an unusually peaty Speysider.

• Berry's Own Selection Glen Grant 1972

A well matured and well balanced malt. The sherry notes tend to muzzle the distillery character. An iron hand in a velvet glove!

• Berry's Own Selection Glen Grant 1972, 33 Years Old

After a nose that can only be described as “hairy” it rather loses focus.

• Berry's Own Selection Glencadam 13 Years Old

A pleasant freshener. Delivers a lot. To be enjoyed on a warm day with raw fish and salad.

• Berry's Own Selection Glencadam 1973

A ripe dram which seems to have headed across to Kentucky. Big and lush.

• Berry's Own Selection Glencadam 1973, 33 Years Old

• Berry's Own Selection Glencadam 1991

A dram for a sweet tooth. Nearly sugary. Unbalanced.

• Berry's Own Selection Glenlivet 1972

Lots of flavour but restrained and well balanced. Very confident. If there is a Speyside style, surely this is it.

• Berry's Own Selection Glenlivet 1974

Very elegant and balanced on the nose. Oak tends to show off but the dram keeps its charm though.

• Berry's Own Selection Glenlivet 1975

This is a big mean mother whose youthful charms have been lashed into submission by oak.

• Berry's Own Selection Imperial 1976

A classic malty malt. Good balance, interesting dry spiciness. Well structured, hexagonal like Bach music. For those who don’t like the unexpected. I don’t mean boring though.

• Berry's Own Selection Inchgower 1974

A great wee aperitif. Fresh and fun.

• Berry's Own Selection Inchgower 1980

A big powerful bruiser.

• Berry's Own Selection Inchgower 1980

Just lacks a little length. Not as pure as the 74, but I like its weirdness.

• Berry's Own Selection Lochside 1981

• Berry's Own Selection Lochside 1991

Well balanced, fresh and pleasant. The finish lacks some depth maybe. But that does not take the pleasure away.

• Berry's Own Selection Longmorn 1988

Well balanced. A real wee sweetie.

• Berry's Own Selection Longmorn 1990

A perfectly pretty dram but it is almost too light. Even delicate whiskies need backbone.

• Berry's Own Selection Longmorn 1992

What a bizarre bottle...musty nose and fragrant palate.

• Berry's Own Selection Port Ellen 1982, 24 Years Old

• Berry's Own Selection Rosebank 1990

A teasing early freshness is the overture to a richer, modestly structured, conclusion.

• Berry's Own Selection Rosebank 1990

Cute as a button.

• Berry's Own Selection Teaninich 1973

Not a heavyweight nor a sophisticated lad. But a perfect companion for a plate of smokies or a fruit salad.

• Berry's Own Selection Tobermory 1995

• Berry's Own Selection Tobermory 1995, 11 Years Old

• Blue Hanger 25 Years Old, Second Release

The nose suggests a winter warmer, but the palate performs as a summer refresher.

• Cutty Sark 12 Years Old

Clean, fresh and refreshing. A whisky for the beach?

• Cutty Sark 15 Years Old

• Cutty Sark 15 Years Old

• Cutty Sark 18 Years Old

• Cutty Sark 25 Years Old

The extra years serve Cutty well. It is confident, expressive, expansive.

• Cutty Sark 25 Years Old

• Cutty Sark Imperial Kingdom

A smooth and caressing blend. Full of charm. The balance is superb. Gives a sense of comfort and relief.

• Cutty Sark Original Scots

The flavours are tightly combined. I imagine exploring them late at night in a vaguely disreputable bar in the tropics. Perhaps it's the name.
