2008 Hazelburn Oloroso Cask Matured 15 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Named after one of Campbeltown’s past distilleries and first distilled in 1997, Hazelburn is the newest whisky to be produced by Springbank. By using malt that is air-dried only and distilling the whisky three times instead of twice, they achieve a spirit that's light, fruity and subtle. Normally available in 10 and 12yo expressions, the annually released 'Sherry Wood' provides a full bodied contrast to the all-Bourbon matured Hazelburns, with Oloroso Sherry casks adding another layer of flavour as well as extra depth. 9000 bottles are on offer globally. 55.8% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Notes from the producers... Notes of cherry menthol, red cola, date syrup and black forest gateaux welcome us to this fully Oloroso matured Hazelburn. Soft fudge and caramel notes develop over time. Palate: Rich yet balanced on the palate, there are notes of toffee apple, leather-bound books, demerara sugar and creme brulee. Finish: A lingering finish, there are notes of rum-soaked raisins and vanilla sponge.
