Berry Bros. & Rudd are experts in the wine and spirits industry and select only the finest quality bottling’s to apply their labels to. This blended whisky is the 11th release and is always held a high amount of respect in the whisky world.
The name ‘Blue Hanger’ was taken from William ‘Blue’ Hanger, Lord Coleraine who was a very loyal customer of Berrys in the late 18th century. He used to wear clothes mainly in shades of blue attacting this knickname. It’s not everyday you have a slender bottle of fine Scottish malt whisky named after you, a great honour.
This limited edition bottling is released about twice per year and is always a different experience with each anticipated release. Move over Johnnie Walker Blue Label and let this man take his place at the top of the table.
Crafted from 8 different casks of single malt whisky and very limited.
