Hazelburn Sauternes Bottling Note
An extraordinary whisky, this Hazelburn was aged for 5 years in refill bourbon casks, and finished for a full three years in Sauternes casks! It was distilled in June 2002, and bottled at natural cask strength in February 2011, and there are just 9,180 bottles...
Nose: Incredibly sweet, with notes of fresh vanilla cream, boiled sweets, lemon meringue pie and wine gums. Beautifully balanced and really rich.
Palate: Clean and balanced, with notes of thick, creamy, sweet malt and hints of foam banana, pear, apple peel, rhubarb crumble and melted rum & raisin icecream.
Finish: Creamy and spicy. Long finish, with butterscotch, honeycomb, hints of oily smoke and fruit gums.
