- Description
- Hazelburn, Springbank's unpeated single malt, spent 15 years in a Cognac cask, a pairing that softened the distillery's typically funky, briny character with layers of stone fruit, dried apricot, and subtle grape tannins. The result is more approachable than traditional Springbank, with wine-driven sweetness balancing the spirit's natural oily texture. The finish is medium-length with lingering fruit and a touch of oak grip. This is an elegant expression for those seeking Campbeltown's character tempered by French oak influence.
