Hazelburn – 8 Year Old - Second Edition - The Stills (70cl, 46%)

Hazelburn – 8 Year Old - Second Edition - The Stills is a single malt whisky from Hazelburn (Campbeltown). Aged 8 years, bottled at 46% 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 Cadenheads (the oldest independent bottler) and several other blended scotch labels. They are tough cookies down in this neck of the world where by they are one of the last surviving producers of single malt whiskies in Campbeltown. They were licensed in 1828, and the area once had over thirty active distilleries. The distillery produces both peated and unpeated expressions under three distinct brands. Springbank, Hazelburn and Longrow. This 8-year-old Hazelburn is a triple distilled, completely unpeated single malt produced at Campbeltown's Springbank Distillery. To celebrate the First Release Hazelburn, Springbank Distillers Ltd commissioned artist Ian Gray to paint 3 pictures of the distillery. The 3 paintings were then turned into both labels and a series of limited edition prints. This is the second edition of 'the stills', a bottling with an illustration of stills on the label.
