It’s no secret that Berry Bros & Rudd boasts an impressive 300-year history as one of the world’s leading wine and spirits merchants. In fact, they’re pretty much the go-to purveyor when it comes to buying any number of hard-to-find, high-end Bordeaux’s, Burgundies and San Gioveses. However, earlier this year, the august institute announced the launch of its first-ever series of personally crafted Blended Malts.

Created as part of The Classic Range collection, four distinct expressions of some of Scotland’s iconic terroirs and cask techniques were hand-blended by Berry Bros & Rudd’s Spirits Buyer Doug McIvor and Ronnie Cox, its Brands Heritage Director.

Cox says of these newly-launched tipples: “The name Berry Bros & Rudd in connection with wine and spirits means liquid in a bottle which exudes ever-trustworthy quality and flavour. It was with these values that Dougie and I assembled this range – a hugely enjoyable task. The result is a variety of top quality Blended Malts that are a ‘go-to’ portfolio to suit a variety of palates and moods.”

The Classic Range of Blended Malts – all priced at HK$330 include:
Speyside Blended Malt Scotch Whisky, fruity and floral with subtle wood notes
Islay Blended Malt Scotch Whisky, smoky and peaty with a lingering aftertaste
Sherry Cask Matured Blended Malt Scotch Whisky, matured in luxurious Sherry casks, citrusy and nutty with strong Sherry undertones
Peated Cask Matured Blended Malt Scotch Whisky, peaty on the nose with an unusually fruity finish
