What a difference a vowel makes. When researching Hoebag Whisky we were drawn into a world of err ...celebrity bosoms and decolletage! Seems a Hoebag means something entirely different to our colonial cousins across the pond.
However, if you type an 'e'; instead of an 'a' Robert Graham's The Hoebeg appears as a single malt Islay whisky, which scored 88 in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2011 .
70cl and bottled at 40%, it is a limited release from Private Reserve.
I may have to lie down in a darkened room!
