Distillery Notes:
2023 Edition
The Hazelburn Sherry Wood is an annually released limited edition matured exclusively in Oloroso Sherry casks.
15 years old
55.8%
100% Oloroso
The annually released Hazelburn Sherry Wood range provides a stark contrast to the fully Bourbon matured Hazelburn 10 year old. Matured in 100% Oloroso Sherry casks, this 15 year old release is a complex, full-bodied dram.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Notes of cherry menthol, red cola, date syrup and black forest gateaux welcome us to this fully Oloroso matured Hazelburn. Soft fudge and caramel notes develop over time.
Palate: Rich yet balanced on the palate, there are notes of toffee apple, leather-bound books, demerara sugar and creme brulee.
Finish: A lingering finish, there are notes of rum-soaked raisins and vanilla sponge.
Awards/Reviews:
"A clean sherry influence, that’s a good start. A tinge of mint combined with leather, chocolate-covered raisins, damp earth and dried fruits. Some figs, blackberries and a sprinkle of cinnamon too. A textbook example of what I’d like my sherry-matured whisky to be. Somewhat dry yet viscous. There’s leather and tobacco with a hint of oak spice, but also mocha, chocolate and nutmeg. Then some hessian, blackberries and a tinge of smoke. Really satisfactory. Slightly tannic, some furniture polish and lingering oak spices. This is good. Like really good. I expected it to be good, but it is better than I thought it would be. Maybe it's not very Campbeltown-esque (not in the way Springbank is), but the clean Oloroso sherry casks and excellent spirit are a great tandem."
