Williamson 2012 Christmas Edition Berry Bros & Rudd

Williamson’s 2012 Christmas Edition is a unique single malt born from a fascinating cask journey, initially matured in a hogshead originally holding Laphroaig spirit. Bottled in 2021 after nine years, this 60.9% ABV whisky gains complexity through a subtle ‘teaspooning’ – a blending with another carefully selected whisky to fall under the Williamson name. Expect a powerful and intriguing character, hinting at the peaty origins of its cask while offering a nuanced profile beyond simple Islay smoke. Limited to just 322 bottles, this expression represents a distinctive piece of independent bottling history from a historic British merchant.
