Hazelburn 14 Year Old 2004 - Oloroso Cask Whisky 70cl

Agreed with the comment below. Tough choice btwn this and Longrow Red 11 for my whisky of the year (<£60) Not forgetting Springbank CS 2019(2nd released)

This whisky is my WOTY hands down! This was absolutely a sensational whisky, different from the standard sherry bombs you would get.
The review that talks about sulfur I don't seem to find at all, it's more that dunnage funk and if you know Springbank you know what im talking about. The reason I love this so much is that dunnage funk adds a savory element to the nose, which detracts this from being a full-on sweet dominated sherry bomb. If you like bacon, pancakes with maple syrup - this is the whisky for you. Can't get enough of this, stocked up 3x bottles to carry this experience with me through the decade.

I am a big fan of their last year 13 yrs oloroso but their 14 is .a few notches up. Packed with dense fruits, rich caramel, robust and intense a pure pleasure to sip slowly. Too bad, it's sold out. If I knew I would have bought more.

This is my second bt.and I didn't detect any sulfur. All I got was ripe autumn fruits and nectar. I love Springbank, they do all the right things. If there's only one distillery I could choose from, Springbank is my choice. Craft quality at price everyone can afford.

I found the taste of this to seem a bit eggy and sulfuric. It has sulfur. Here is a review from My Annoying Opinions that backs up my contention: Palate: Pretty much as promised by the nose. A little saltier on the second sip. The texture is fine. With time it gets earthier but also more tannic. Water turns those tannins more sulphurous—giving me that furry feeling on the tongue.

Pungeant sherry all over, nose, tongue, decadent, one of the best sherry aged I’ve had in a long time. This limited edition certainly not disappoints and hit all the buttons you want in what makes a great whisky: balance between aromas and flavours, intensity (right ABV), a long finish that lingers on dark dusty sherry notes for a while, all in all, a steal for the price. If you LOVE Springbank, this Hazelburn is a no brainer, phenomenal release! A class in its own, brilliantly assembled.
