Hazelburn is the name given to Campbeltown distillery Springbank’s triple distilled spirit.

This particular bottling has been aged for 13 years in both fresh and refill Oloroso sherry casks, producing a rich, characterful single malt.

The dram is surprisingly smoky, with notes of coal and burnt malt, alongside rich blackcurrants, plums, cherries and blackberries. There’s almost a little barbequed meat here. Some creamy oak, vanilla and caramel provides balance and body.

Bottled at 47.1%, and without chill filtration or colouration, this is a wonderfully rich whisky.

Just 12,000 bottles were released.
