- Description
- Kininvie's Hazelwood 105 was bottled at cask strength to celebrate the distillery staff member Janet Sheed Roberts' 105th birthday in 2006, making this the first-ever single malt release from the distillery. Aged 15 years, this expression showcases Speyside's characteristic soft maltiness and honey notes, balanced by the wood influence that develops over a decade and a half of maturation. The bottling strength of 52.5% preserves the spirit's full character while remaining approachable. A historical rarity for collectors of Speyside and those interested in distillery releases created for personal milestones rather than commercial aims.
