Hazelwood Janet Sheed Roberts 105th Birthday Whisky 15 Year Old · 1990 Vintage

Colour

Deep burnished amber with copper-gold highlights and ruby-tinged edges.

Nose

Sherry-cask richness coats the nose: dark prune, fig, and raisin mingle with cocoa, burnt sugar, and treacle. Velvet vanilla threads through polished oak, while warm spices—cinnamon and clove—meet hints of orange zest and almond. A luxurious, restrained warmth hints at rarity and decades of refined maturation.

Palate

Opulent and full-bodied on the palate, the sherry influence delivers dark raisin and fig, wrapped in cocoa, toffee and orange zest. Rich spice—cinnamon and clove—meets toasted almond in a velvety, oil-rich texture. A warming, long finish of oak, leather and mocha lingers, with a refined sweetness and quiet depth that speaks of rare, bottle-age whispers.

Finish

Long and luxurious, this sherry‑cask finish clings with dark fig and raisin fruit, enriched by cocoa and roasted almond. Toasted oak and gentle spice linger, a warm, velvety fade that invites another sip.
