Official tasting notes:
Nose: Notes of cherry menthol, red cola, date syrup and black forest gateaux welcome us to this fully Oloroso matured Hazelburn. Soft fudge and caramel notes develop over time.
Palate: Rich yet balanced on the palate, there are notes of toffee apple, leather-bound books, demerara sugar and creme brulee.
Finish: A lingering finish, there are notes of rum-soaked raisins and vanilla sponge.

Description
Triple distilled, un-chill-filtered and with no added colour, this Hazelburn 15-year-old was aged full term in 100% oloroso sherry casks providing a nice point of difference to its younger brother, the 10yo bourbon cask. This 100% Oloroso bottling is an annual limited release within the Springbank portfolio.
Hazelburn is the newest whisky to be produced at the Springbank distillery taking its name from one of the distilleries of Campbelltown’s past. Hazelburn gains it’s light, fruity and subtle character from unpeated barley that is air dried and distilled three times in old, copper stills.
Please note: Due to the nature of Springbank/Hazelburn’s packaging, almost all their expressions arrive from the UK with minor wear and scuffing to the top of the front and/or rear labels. Unfortunately, not much can be done about it so please be aware of this fact prior to purchasing.
