Description
A miniature of the blend named after the red feather that adorns the hats of the Scottish military unit The Black Watch.
This blend was produced by Hepburn & Ross of Glasgow. Established in 1920 by Charles Hepburn (who served with the Black Watch) and Herbert Ross both veterans of the First World War.
The company had a policy of hiring ex-military and became popular with military bases during the Second World War.
Although the brand would vanish by the 1980s it occasionally pops up here and there.
We estimate this was bottled in the 1950s to 1960s.
Please note as this is a vintage whisky, conditions of bottle/label and liquid level can vary.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich. Full of syrup, brown sugar, toffee, sticky buns, burnt raisins, cooked pastry.
Palate: Light to medium weight, gentle mouthfeel. Follows on perfectly from the nose. The brown sugar sweetness is balanced with some coppery notes and gentle pepperiness.
Finish: Sweet, gentle but warming with the return of the raisins.
