Hazelburn Sherry Wood 2018 Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky 13 Year Old · 2004 Vintage
In stock
The second release of a 100% Oloroso Sherry cask aged Hazelburn from the Springbank distillery.
A triple distilled and unpeated release with only 9000 bottles available.
Distilled October 2004 and Bottled April 2018.
A most enjoyable (maybe my favourite yet from this ever improving range) Hazelburn, plenty to chew on with none of that earthy-briney smoke of the Springbank releases. A rich, cakey and winter spiced figgy plum pudding delight of a Whisky.
Last years release of this sold out in record time, so do not hang around getting your hands on this limited release.
Product Details
Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery highlights and mahogany depth, a warm, sherry-toned glow.
Nose
Sherry-drenched dried fruits, fig jam and sticky toffee pudding mingle with caramelised nuts, ginger cake and baked bananas; amaretti biscuits dipped in mocha, clove-studded orange, chocolate-covered raisins, finished with a subtle coastal lift.
Palate
Bold, dense Sherry wood coats the palate with Oloroso-soaked fruitcake. Chocolate-covered raisins, sticky dates and dried banana chips mingle with macchiato coffee and Demerara sugar, while autumnal leaves and winter spice lend a chewy, full-bodied finish to this malt.
Finish
Fig rolls, sticky ginger cake, nut brittle, malt loaf, burnt butter, dark honeycomb, salted butterscotch, more sweet and sticky sherry wood and dense fruitcake notes on a long and moreish finish.
