Hazelburn 10 Year

Very good.

The nose is very fresh and aromatic with smells of ripe apple, lawn clippings, and pear. The palate is full and fairly zesty. Flavour notes of orange peel, honey and lemon. Medium length finish with a hint of baking spices.

Lekka, owocowa, z czasem robi się nawet lepsza, w dobrej cenie warto

Dobra, łagodna ale mocna

Pale in color & light on the palate, but interesting. Menthol, honey with lots of oak and only the lightest wisp of smoke. After adding a couple drops of water notes of caramel and vanilla emerge.

Apricot no kidding

Springbank has been on my list to try for a while, but I always seemed to gravitate towards something else. Thankfully @ctbeck11 took me on a Springbank, Longrow and Hazelburn flight to help highlight this distillery and provide a few samples, this and a few others for me to dive into. The nose is very light but starts with hay and light citrus fruits of lemon, orange maybe even some peach that have ocean sea salt sprinkled over them with a vanilla cream and subtle light peat there but in the background wrapping them together with light ethanol burn. The taste is an oily mouthfeel with hay, light citrus fruits of lemon, orange with sea salt, vanilla cream, ginger and light peat all just intermingling together with a light ethanol burn finishing medium length with hay, sea salt, vanilla cream, lemon and orange, ginger and a cave mineral wet rock flavor that lingers for minutes. Now that I’ve finished the sample, I might need to get a bottle to work through and find more notes in. This is a great VFM for 80 dollars and I’m looking forward to the rest of the Springbank samples if this is what their 10 year has to offer.
