Hazelburn 8 Year Oloroso Cask Matured Single Malt

48.2% ABV

Hazelburn is produced at the Springbank distillery in Campbeltown, Scotland. Springbank is one of the finest distilleries in the world by any measure. They are one of the few distilleries in Scotland to do every step of the whisky making process in house from floor malting the barley all the way to bottling and labeling the finished product. Hazelburn is their triple distilled, non-peated expression that is a lighter, creamier style of spirit than either Springbank or Longrow, the other 2 Malt Whiskies produced there. 

This is the 2025 edition of their Sherry Wood release and it was aged for 8 years in ex-Oloroso Sherry casks. 

Producer Notes:
Nose
Sweet cinnamon aromas provide a welcoming introduction, with cocoa powder cranberry and redcurrant notes emerging.

Palate
Mixed berry notes come to the forefront on the palate, along with hints of strawberry bubble gum, sticky toffee puddling and blackberries.

Finish
A nuttiness presents in the finish in notes of hazelnut and walnut.

About Springbank Distillery:
This distillery was founded by Archibald Mitchell in Campbeltown, Scotland in 1828 and has been owned by his family ever since. That region was once the largest whisky producing area in the world but by the 1980's there were only 2 remaining distilleries, Springbank and Glen Scotia. The Mitchell family purchased and reopened the mothballed Glengyle distillery in 2004 where they now produce the Kilkerran brand of Single Malts. 

Springbank is unique in Scotland because they do every step of the whisky making process on site from floor malting the barley, to fermentation, distillation, aging, and bottling. They produce 3 distinct malts: Springbank which is distilled 2.5 times, Longrow which is heavily peated and distilled twice, and the triple distilled Hazelburn. They are independent, family owned, and make some of the finest whiskies on earth.
