1970s H.B.C Scotch Whisky

Originally bottled for the Spanish market, it’s a bit of a hidden gem—especially if you enjoy vintage-style blends with a smooth, understated profile

The H.B.C Scotch Whisky is quite obscure, and there’s very limited public information or tasting notes available. It doesn’t appear in major whisky databases or collector forums, which suggests it might be a private label, a regional export, or a discontinued bottling.That said, based on similar lesser-known blended Scotch whiskies, here’s a likely flavor profile:

Nose: Light and grain-forward, with hints of vanilla, green apple, and a touch of oak.

Palate: Smooth and approachable, offering sweet malt, toffee, and a gentle spice warmth—possibly with a faint smoky edge if any Islay malt is included.

Finish: Short to medium, with a clean, slightly dry fade and a trace of caramel.
