Hazelburn Whisky

The Springbank family has owned the same plot of land in Campbeltown since 1828, when John Mitchell's illegal still once stood exactly there. Hazelburn is the house's most unconventional creation - triple-distilled and entirely unpeated, a fresh contrast to Campbeltown's typically bold style. This is single malt from Scotland's smallest, most stubbornly independent whisky region.

Hazelburn 10 year old Marsala Cask Denmark Campbeltown Malt Whisky 58,8%

Item no.: 22227865434-10155

Hazelburn is Springbank's quiet third voice - no smoke, triple distilled, and a softness that surprises those who only know the distillery's other two styles. This release was bottled in a small number, exclusively for the Danish market.
Expert Description
Hazelburn 10 Year Old Marsala Cask Denmark is a Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky distilled at Springbank, finished in Marsala casks and bottled at 58.8%.
Hazelburn is one of the three styles produced at Springbank Distillery, standing apart by being triple distilled and entirely unpeated - an unusual combination in Campbeltown that gives a lighter, more refined whisky than its smoky siblings. This 10 year old was distilled in June 2007 and bottled in May 2018, after which a Marsala cask finish added sweetness and body that pairs well with Hazelburn's fresh core character. Only 258 bottles were released for the Danish market via Juuls Vinhandel.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Light caramel and strawberry jam meet almost overripe citrus, patisserie pastry and a touch of vanilla.
Palate
Vanilla and cask notes blend with red berries in a creamy, almost viscous style that pairs beautifully with the high strength.
Finish
Soft and round, with a lingering sweetness of berries and pastry that slowly gives way to a dry, lightly spiced close.

About Hazelburn

Hazelburn is a triple-distilled single malt whisky from the Springbank distillery in Campbeltown, known for being extra soft and refined compared to the house's other, more smoky expressions. For the newcomer, Hazelburn is an accessible entry into the Campbeltown style without the intensity of peat; for the connoisseur, the distillery's use of traditional floor malting, combined with maturation in small Rundlets and Kilderkins casks, is interesting, since it's a practice only a handful of quality-conscious producers still uphold.

History & Background

Springbank was founded in 1828 on the very site where John Mitchell's illegal still had once stood, and the distillery remains owned by the Mitchell family to this day, making it Scotland's oldest still family-owned distillery. The Hazelburn range was developed as the house's third and most unconventional single malt, alongside the smoky Springbank and the heavily peated Longrow, and stands apart by being distilled three times using no peat at all during malting. The whisky is often matured in small Rundlets and Kilderkins casks, historically sold to the local gentry in Campbeltown, which gives an accelerated maturation due to the increased contact surface between whisky and oak.

Production & Style

The whisky is distilled three times without any peat, giving it a light, elegant character unlike the distillery's other styles.
