Hankey Bannister Heritage Blend
Country: Scotland
Region:
Type: Blended Scotch
Bottler: Inver House
ABV: 40%
Score: 93 Points
This blend brings back some of the classic style associated with blended Scotches. The nose is smoky and complex with honey, vanilla, baked apples, heather, and a hint of beef broth, along with a hint of lime zest that comes out with time. The taste has notes of grilled pineapple and other tropical fruits, including mango, orange peel, and a nice smokiness with coconut, vanilla, and a hint of heather adding balance. The finish has touches of dried fruits, campfire smoke, and a hint of brown sugar. Excellent! (November, 2014)
