About Blue Hanger Brand
"Blue Hanger is one of Berry Bros. & Rudd’s most beloved and distinctive whisky creations, bridging Georgian elegance with modern blending craft. Famous for his elegant dress sense and distinctive blue clothes, William “Blue” Hanger, 3rdLord Coleraine (1748–1794), became affectionately known in fashionable Georgian London circles as “Blue Hanger” and was considered one of the best-dressed men of his day — a true dandy — as well as a loyal patron of Berry Bros. & Rudd in the end of 18th century. Named in his honour, the whisky pays tribute to this famously stylish and devoted customer, celebrating one of Georgian London’s most impeccably dressed gentlemen.
"In honour of this stylish and discerning gentleman, Berry Bros. & Rudd later created a blended malt whisky bearing his name: Blue Hanger.
The first release appeared in the 1990s (originally in very small quantities), designed as a limited-edition blend of exceptional single malts, curated to appeal to whisky connoisseurs. Thereafter, each edition was different, crafted from unique cask combinations, making every batch distinct and collectible. Each edition of Blue Hanger is numbered (e.g., 6th, 7th, 10th Release, etc.), continuing Berry Bros. & Rudd’s tradition of small-batch, handcrafted blending. The whisky has become a cult favourite among enthusiasts who appreciate subtlety, balance, and historical connection."
