Hazelburn 10 Year Old - 70cl 46%

First released in 2014 and part of the Hazelburn core range, this is a 10 year old bottling of Hazelburn single malt Scotch whisky from the Springbank distillery in the Campbeltown region.

The Hazelburn range takes its name from one of Campbeltown’s lost distilleries and was first produced at Springbank Distillery in 1997.

Making full use of all three stills, this range is triple distilled and unpeated resulting in a spirit that is creamy, delicate and light.

The Hazelburn 10 Year Old is the flagship single malt in the Hazelburn Range and is triple distilled, matured in bourbon casks and bottled at 46% ABV.

Three malt whiskies are produced at Springbank Distillery, each with its own character. Springbank which is 80% of production, is lightly peated and distilled two and a half times. Longrow is more heavily peated and distilled two times. Hazelburn is unpeated and distilled three times.

Nose: Stewed pears and baked apples are then followed by honeycomb and delicious fudge notes.

Palate: A lovely and rich whisky with vanilla and honey flavours as liquorice then follows and with it, brings a refreshing zestiness.

Finish: A refined milk chocolate cream finish that is oily and chewy.
