The Hazelburn single malt whisky pays homage to a former Campbeltown distillery, once the largest in the area, which operated from the early 18th century until 1925.
Springbank distillery, licensed since 1828, embarked on triple-distilled spirit production in 1997. In 2005, the inaugural bottling of Hazelburn whisky, an 8-year-old expression, marked the brand's inception. This first edition featured three labels, each showcasing a different aspect of Springbank: its maltings, stills, and casks.
Expanding their core range, Hazelburn introduced the 12-year-old and 10-year-old expressions in 2009 and 2014 respectively, further exemplifying Springbank's dedication to exceptional whisky.
Among their esteemed selection, the remarkable Hazelburn Triple Distilled 21 Year Old Scotch Whisky stands out. With a bold and punchy nose, it introduces notes of caramel, treacle, and sticky toffee pudding. The nose also reveals creamy chocolate liqueur and hints of ginger, adding to its allure.
On the robust palate, this triple-distilled dram offers creamy marzipan, prunes, and choux pastry notes. A balanced bitterness reminiscent of dark chocolate completes the palate, showcasing its complexity.
The finish of this dram leaves a creamy mouthfeel, accompanied by hints of sandalwood and liquorice. These elements round off the whisky, providing a satisfying conclusion to the tasting experience.
Hazelburn Triple Distilled 21 Year Old Scotch Whisky exemplifies Springbank's commitment to craftsmanship and dedication to producing exceptional single malt whisky. From its enticing nose to its robust palate and creamy finish, this dram showcases the artistry and quality that define the Hazelburn range.
