Probably the least sought-after of the three Springbank brands, Hazelburn still outshines most Scottish single malts. Rich notes of blackberry jam, chocolate cookies and pipe tobacco ascent from the glass, rounded off by plums, mild pepper and cloves. Intense and spicy in the arrival, the palate mellows with stewed fruits, spearmint and a touch of salt. Mineral, earthy and citric notes creep in. Measured oak, roasted coffee and blood oranges migrate into the lasting and slightly dry aftertaste. A beautiful sherry bomb from Scotland's most iconic distillery.
