- Description
- Hazelburn from Springbank Distillery matured for 16 years in first-fill bourbon cask, delivering the Campbeltown distillery's oily, funky character reinforced by robust oak and vanilla. The fresh bourbon wood imparts significant vanilla sweetness and char alongside Springbank's characteristic brine, dried fruit, and slight funkiness that define this distillery's uncompromising style. Expect a full-bodied, warming spirit with persistent oak tannins and maritime undertones. This shareholders' bottling suits Campbeltown purists and bourbon cask enthusiasts.
