Single Malt
Scotland

Unpeated single malt from the celebrated Springbank distillery matured exclusively in Oloroso Sherry casks! Distilled in October 2003 and bottled in March 2017, around 12,000 bottles were produced.
Please Note: Unfortunately Springbank labels are prone to scuffing and we can't promise this bottle will be without.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Initially raisins, marzipan, Demerara sugar followed by treacle, sticky toffee and wood shavings.
Homemade strawberry jam, sugary and filled with cream, orange zest, brandy snaps and a white chocolate creme brûlée.
Chocolate orange, crazy coffee liqueur, buttered popcorn, cocoa beans and mocha coffee with a delicate finish of sweet orange marmalade.
Managed to get hold of a bottle - absolutely no regrets. Smooth, complex, chocolatey... and a rather long finish. Fantastic value for money too. There has to be a reason why 12000 bottles of this is now sold out.
Disappointing, has an antiseptic quality, not unlike mouthwash. Taste younger than 13, and the finish is unpleasant, as if i wish it was shorter. I’m going to pour this out, and get something else
Very good, chocolaty, fruity and salty.
This is my first exposure to Hazelburn after several disappointments with Springbank and Longrow. I was really impressed with this one. My first dram was very complex even with a taste of light peat which Hazelburn shouldn't have. I loved the oily texture which is characteristic of Springbank and Glen Scotia malts. I liked it better than the heralded Springbank 15.
