Hankey Bannister Heritage BlendLimited Release

[William]

Hankey Bannister Blended Scotch Whisky has taken a step back in time with their latest limited edition expression. The Hankey Bannister Heritage Blend has been inspired by a perfectly preserved bottle of Hankey Bannister from the 1920s which was unearthed last year in the UK.

Bottled at 46% ABV, limited to 5000 cases with a UK RRP of £26.99.

I have to say i really enjoyed this, it is an excellent very well made complex and very easy to drink quality blended whisky and a real taste of Hankey Banister whisky history. Obviously some very good malts and grain whisky have gone into this and as you would expect in a whisky from this era it has a touch of peat smoke. I think this could pleasantly surprise quite a few single malt whisky drinkers.

Hankey Bannister is one blend which i havent tried, you dont often see it even in specialist whisky shops. The Heritage Blend does sound interesting as i do like blended whisky particularly the more premium blends, i will watch out for it in the shops.

Hankey Bannister is one i have never tried either, i would guess the UK isnt the main market for it as you dont see it much here.

I have only ever had the Hankey Bannister Original blend but i have read good review of their older aged stuf but havent tried it but this one sounds worth a try and a good price and allways good to see a blend bottled at 46%
