The Hazelburn 12yo is a Campbeltown single malt whisky, triple distilled from air-dried barley at the esteemed Springbank distillery and matured for 12 years. This whisky pays homage to one of Campbeltown's lost distilleries, Hazelburn, which was revived in 1997. It is known for its captivating bronze color and richly malty flavors. The nose reveals an intoxicating sherry cask influence with notes of chocolate, apricot, orange marmalade, almonds, and marzipan. On the palate, it offers a delicate balance of maltiness and fruitiness, with hints of oak, figs, and nuts. The finish is long and lingering, with a delightful fruity sweetness.
This particular bottling is a limited release of just 3,900 bottles, first introduced in August 2009. The Springbank Distillery, located in one of Scotland's most remote regions, is renowned for being the sole distillery in Scotland to produce three different single malts using three distinct production methods. They remain one of the last surviving producers of single malt whiskies in Campbeltown, an area that once boasted over thirty active distilleries. The distillery produces both peated and unpeated expressions under three distinct brands: Springbank, Hazelburn, and Longrow.
The Hazelburn 12yo, although unpeated, carries hints of peat, reminiscent of a Lowland-style whisky. The nose features orange zest, unripe apples, and a touch of incense smoke. Chocolate, dried fruits, and marzipan further reveal the sherry cask influence. On the palate, it arrives with a spicy and gingery profile, unfolding delicate and nutty notes of roasted almonds, orange marmalade, and coconuts. The finish is medium in length, aromatic, and oak-dominated, making this an intriguing Campbeltown Single Malt.
