Hamiltons Speyside Single Malt Whiskey / 40% / 0.7l

In 2012, Charles Hamilton Ltd launched a range of regional single malts. This included Speyside, Highlands, Lowlands and Islay.

Each region was given a different coloured label, featuring a picture of a place characteristic of the region and a map of Scotland (the names of the distilleries were not disclosed). The whiskies were bottled at 40% ABV, without an age statement and offered at competitive prices. Hamilton Speyside Single Malt is a young whisky, typical of its region. Charles Hamilton Ltd operates as a subsidiary of the Hillman Angus Dundee Distillers family, owners of Glencadam Distillery in the Highlands and Tomintoul Distillery in Speyside.

Taste: slightly buttery, vanilla cream, toffee, plums, apples, roasted nuts, delicate notes of pepper and oak.
