Hazelburn Springbank Society 1st Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky 8 Year Old · 1998 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery highlights and a warm, honeyed glow.

Nose

Opulent and nutty, hazelnut and almond coat the nose, seasoned by rich sherry from a single cask. Dried fig and raisin mingle with candied orange peel, vanilla and toffee, while warm oak and a note of cocoa add depth. A bold, inviting aroma that promises sweetness, spice, and refinement.

Palate

Silky and full on the palate, this Hazelburn unfolds a sherried sweetness with depth. Dried figs and raisins mingle with toffee, cocoa and candied orange peel, all carried on toasted almond. A warming spine of cinnamon and nutmeg from the cask lingers, balanced by soft oak. The finish is long and luxurious, pathways of fruit, chocolate and subtle spice fading gracefully.

Finish

Long, warming finish with pronounced sherry sweetness; dried fruits—raisins and cherries—interlace with cocoa and orange zest, while toasted oak and a touch of spice persist on the palate.
