Hattfield Blended Whisky is a blended malt and grain scotch whisky distilled for the French market that has garnered attention for its affordability and unconventional flavour profile.

Bottler Insights

Hattfield doesn’t specify a particular Scottish distillery. Instead, it seems to be a contract blend produced for the French company Par CMI. The “fully matured” wording suggests it was aged to completion before bottling, rather than being a cask finish. The Italian tax band suggests distribution through European markets, predominantly France.

Tasting Notes (Inferred)

No formal tasting notes are currently available. Based on its style & ABV, here's an educated profile:

• Colour: Light to medium gold, typical of 40 % ABV blends.

• Nose: Gentle cereals, mild vanilla, the possibility of light orchard fruit, and soft grainy sweetness.

• Palate: Smooth and easy-drinking; expect baked grain, subtle toffee, light spice, and echoes of cereal cream.

• Finish: Short to medium, clean with a hint of warm malt and dry grain.

Absent of independent bottler input, these notes are inferred from its category and likely blend.

Availability & Price

• Price: Roughly €35 placing it in the affordable single-bottle premium range.

• Collectibility: Its rarity and obscure branding may appeal to collectors of lesser-known blends. However, lack of provenance diminishes whisky investors’ interest.

Verdict & Suitability

Why try it?

• It’s a curious blend with a continental twist—ideal for whisky explorers who enjoy regional mystery blends.

Who is it for?

• Entry- to mid-level consumers seeking easy-drinking blends.

• Collectors looking for rare European-market Scotch bottlings.

• Those intrigued by contract-distilled blends outside mainstream brands.

Limitations:

• Lack of tasting reviews and distillery transparency makes it more of an anecdotal piece than a tasting benchmark.

Suggested Next Steps

1. Taste it yourself — its approachable ABV and price make it a reasonable buy for sampling.

2. Document your tasting — consider adding notes to platforms like Reddit to enrich community knowledge.

3. Explore comparable contract blends — other independent or European-targeted bottlings might offer similar intrigue.
