Hazelburn – 21 Year Old 1999 - Fresh Sherry Single Cask #43/99 (70cl, 47%)

Hazelburn – 21 Year Old 1999 - Fresh Sherry Single Cask #43/99 is a single malt whisky from Hazelburn (Campbeltown). Aged 21 years, bottled at 47% ABV, 70cl. Found in one of the most remote parts of Scotland, the Springbank Distillery is still family-owned. Situated in the western parts of Scotland on the Kintyre Peninsula, it is owned by J & A Mitchell & Company. They also own Glengyle Distillery, William Cadenhead's (the oldest independent bottler) and several other blended Scotch labels. They are tough cookies down in this neck of the world where they are one of the last surviving producers of single malt whiskies in Campbeltown. They were licensed in 1828 and at one time the area had over thirty active distilleries. The distillery produces both peated and unpeated expressions under three distinct brands: Springbank, Hazelburn and Longrow. Distilled in 1999 at the Springbank Distillery, this single malt was matured for 21 years in Fresh Sherry Hogshead #43/99. It was then bottled in December 2020 at 47% ABV.
