Description:

Hepburn's Choice's 10-year-old Teaninich single malt Scotch whiskey was poured from a single refill butt that contained the booze from 2007 to 2018. Langside bottled this at 46% ABV with an output of 804 bottles.

Our Hepburn's Choice brand is always bottled at 46% alcohol by volume, naturally without chemical coloring or chill-filtration, and is always drawn from a single, carefully selected barrel.

Each bottle is chosen to emphasize the unique characteristics of a specific distillery or one of Scotland's whisky-producing regions. The name of this collection pays homage to William Hepburn, the late maternal grandfather of our directors, who worked in diplomacy and traveled much.

Mr. Hepburn was knowledgeable about the whiskey from his home country and had refined a sophisticated palate at many diplomatic gatherings. Also available in 20cl miniatures, we are convinced that these bottles would have been "Hepburn's Choice" in light of this.

This light whisky has pronounced white wine, and grapefruit pith tastes that are crisp and sweet. It is a particular type of malt. The end is dominated by bitter grapefruit pith notes, which some people might not like, but I like them. The unpleasant aftertaste put me off when I first opened the bottle. However, oxidation gradually lessened the bitterness over a few weeks to the point that you can now truly enjoy it.

Though it has a 46% ABV, I wouldn't add water. Efficiently and neatly. The lack of chill filtration and artificial coloring increases the richness of this malt.

Again, the pricing is very reasonable for this malt, so it is worth sampling. If you're looking for something different and want to sample some of the malts that make up Johnnie Walker Red, try Hepburn's Choice 'Teaninich 9 years.
