THE WORLD'S BEST BLENDED WHISKY
HANKY BANNISTER 40 YEARS OLD
 Delicate, light and perfumy. Floral and fruity. Smooth and velvety on the palate with soft spices and sweet oak notes. Perfect balance with sensuous lingering finish. Exquisite
Martine Nouet
Know someone who believes that blends can never be as good as single malt? Give them a taste of this. A work of art and a delightful mix of age and beauty
Dominic Roskrow
Bold nose with the usual caramel and vanilla plus thyme, leather. Tastes of clover, toast and oak. Loooong finish.
William Dowd
Heavy nose with some fruit and a hint of smoke; old fashioned; hint of blackcurrant with water, and in the taste, which is sweet and caramel-like
Charles MacLean
Sharp dark fruitiness of cognac-cured cigar tobacco. A tingling spiciness then luxuriant creamy middle with tea biscuits and butter. Caramel, and surprisingly, salt. Good solid whisky
Davin de Kergommeaux
Rich, lengthy flavours that even with dilution with water, coat your mouth and keep your tongue titillated for more than 10 seconds
LeNell
Gives an impression of opulence, rich and rewarding, with fine leather, tobacco, soft brown sugar and dried fruit. A contemplative dram that deserves full attention
