Product description
Hepburn's Choice is a line of whiskies from the Hunter Laing & Company portfolio, with editions signed by Langside Distillers, its subsidiary.
The series is a nod to William Hepburn, the Laing brothers’ maternal grandfather, a diplomat and whisky connoisseur. In September 2020, Hunter Laing changed the graphic design of the series, reserving a specific color for the region from which the release comes. The Fettercairn presented here, distilled in 2008, was aged in refill barrels, then finished in two wine barrels. In 2020, their content translated into 638 bottles. Hepburn's Choice editions come mostly from single barrels and are bottled at 46% abv, without chill filtration and with a natural color.
Aroma : barley malt, caramel, honey, apricots, pears, plums, roasted peanuts, notes of licorice and fennel.
Palate: vanilla, salted caramel, plums, cranberries for meat, lemon peel, white pepper, a touch of anise and toasted oak.
Finish: medium long, with notes of vanilla, lemon peel, mixed berries, hay, anise and oak.
