Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 584: Blue Hanger 11th Limited Release
Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tries the final Blue Hanger release. Blue Hanger is a blended malt from Berry Bros & Rudd, and this 11th release is also the last. It was named after William Hanger, Lord Coleraine, one of BB&R’s regular customers at the end of the 18th century, who always wore a blue suit. This 11th edition is a combination of 8 casks: 4 hogsheads, 3 sherry butts, and 1 puncheon and contains both peated and unpeated Bunnahabhain, Glengoyne, Ardmore, Tamdhu, Glenturret, and Dailuaine. The blender in charge was Jonny McMillian, who has since taken the step to distilling himself, as he is one of the three founders (along with Angus MacRaild and Aaron Chan) of the Kythe Distillery.
