Berry Bros. & Rudd's Blue Hanger Blended Malt. Image courtesy Berry Bros. & Rudd.Doug McIvor of Berry Bros. & Rudd blended this whisky from casks of Bruichladdich, Bunnahabhain, and Miltonduff malts, and the result is a whisky with a spicy, smoky nose and notes of barbecue sauce, ginger, allspice, and hints of berry cobbler underneath. The taste is just as spicy and smoky with black pepper, a slight tanginess with ginger, honey, and hints of citrus and berries. The finish lingers well with a dry smokiness and muted spices.
