1980s Hamilton’s Blended Scotch

Hamilton’s Blended Scotch Whisky, bottled by Douglas Hamilton, is a lesser-known blend that doesn’t have many formal reviews—but we can piece together a likely profile based on its style and related expressions in the Hamiltons range:

Nose: Light and malty, with soft notes of toasted grain, vanilla, and a hint of green apple. Some expressions in the range also show a faint coastal breeze or peat smoke, depending on the regional influence.

Palate: Smooth and approachable, offering sweet malt, caramel, and a touch of oak spice. If it leans toward Islay or Highland styles, you might also detect earthy peat or stone fruit.

Finish: Short to medium, with a clean, slightly dry fade and a lingering toffee warmth.

The Hamiltons range includes regional expressions like Islay, Highland, Lowland, and The Isles, each showcasing a different Scotch whisky character
