Hazelburn 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Collectors note: Unlike previous editions, this version was released without the original box. This is Springbank's contribution to saving the environment. Springbank's labels almost always arrive with minor wearing and markings, most often to the top of the front labels. This is unavoidable. If you are likely to be disappointed by minor label scuffing, we recommend you don't buy these whiskies.

Hazelburn gains its light, delicate character from unpeated barley and being distilled three times instead of twice as is the standard for Scotch Single Malt. The ten year old was first offered in 2015. Typically, fully matured in ex boubon casks and according to blogger SWB (we've yet to try it): "Palate: Thick and mouth coating with gently sweet, fruity oils with a pinch of spices. The quality from the nose comes through clearly into the palate. There’s a fudgey creamy quality and chocolate. Finish: Jam packed with gorgeous flavours, some of which are from the great quality bourbon wood. It’s really long and leaves flavours on your palate for yonks, as long as many a peated whisky. Thoughts: I was hugely impressed with this dram when I had it as the first dram of a big Islay tour, and it always stood out in my mind after the tour, which already marked it out as a potential gem." 46% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
