Hazelburn 2017 8 Year Old Oloroso Cask

Hazelburn 8 Year Old is a testament to Campbeltown’s rich whisky heritage, distilled in 2017 at the modern Springbank distillery – a revival of a name once synonymous with the region’s peak as the ‘Whisky Capital of the World’. This triple-distilled spirit, unusually unpeated for the area, matures exclusively in Oloroso sherry casks, imparting a light and fruity character. Expect a smooth dram with notes of dried fruit and subtle spice, reflecting the influence of both Campbeltown tradition and Spanish oak. Bottled at 48.2% ABV, it offers a delicate yet complex flavour profile, echoing the legacy of Hazelburn as a pioneering distillery where Masataka Taketsuru first honed his craft.
