Hazelburn 13 years 2007 - 2020 Oloroso Cask Matured

The Hazelburn 13 Years 2007 - 2020 Oloroso Cask Matured is a refined single malt whisky from the Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown. This expression was fully matured in Oloroso sherry casks, resulting in deep complexity and a rich, sherry-driven flavor. Known for its triple distillation and unpeated character, Hazelburn’s soft profile is beautifully complemented by the warm, sweet influences of the Oloroso casks. A superb choice for fans of sherry-matured whiskies with a distinctive Campbeltown touch.

Tasting note

Nose

Rich aromas of raisins, dried figs, and dark cherries, with a touch of toffee, dark chocolate, and a hint of orange zest. Subtle notes of nuts and cinnamon add depth.

Palate

Full-bodied and silky, with layers of caramel, dates, and plums. The sherry influence brings warm tones of spices like nutmeg and clove, harmoniously combined with a gentle woodiness and a hint of dark berries.

Finish

Long and warming, with lingering notes of honey, dark chocolate, and a soft, spicy warmth. A touch of toasted oak lingers elegantly, providing a refined conclusion.

Springbank distillery

Springbank Distillery is located in Campbeltown, a historic whisky region on Scotland's Kintyre Peninsula. Founded in 1828 by the Mitchell family, it is one of the oldest independent distilleries in Scotland and one of the few remaining distilleries in Campbeltown, once known as the "whisky capital of the world."

Springbank Distillery is unique in its complete control over the production process, with all steps - from malting to bottling - taking place on one site. The distillery produces three different single malt whiskies: Springbank, Hazelburn and Longrow.

Springbank whisky is lightly peated and partially triple-distilled, creating a complex and rich flavour profile with notes of fruit, saltiness and a subtle smokiness. Hazelburn is unpeated and triple-distilled, making it a smooth, delicate whisky with light, sweet and malty notes. Longrow is heavily peated and double-distilled, resulting in a robust and smoky whisky with rich, earthy flavours.

The diversity in production methods and flavour profiles makes Springbank Distillery a unique and valued player in the whisky world.
