Hazelburn 15 Year Old Oloroso Cask 2008 (2023 Release)

Discover the Hazelburn 2008 15 Years Oloroso Cask Matured, a bold and richly layered single malt bottled at 55.8% ABV, released in 2023 as a true testament to the depth of sherry cask maturation. Crafted in Campbeltown at the legendary Springbank Distillery, this unpeated, triple-distilled whisky offers an elegant yet intense expression of Oloroso sherry’s influence.

On the nose, indulge in aromas of red fruits, blackcurrants, and creamy milk chocolate, all rounded by hints of leather, raisins, menthol, and ripe strawberries, underscored by a deep, sherried complexity. The palate reveals a more distinct Campbeltown character, with a syrupy texture carrying leather, tobacco, and a gentle hint of smoke and char. Rich flavours of plums and mocha emerge, balanced with a touch of pepper, fennel, and seasoned oak that introduces a slight dryness. The medium-length finish lingers with espresso beans, rum-soaked raisins, and a hint of charred oak.

Hazelburn 2008 15 Years Oloroso Cask Matured is an ideal choice for aficionados seeking a high-proof, sherry-forward whisky with a refined, layered profile and subtle Campbeltown nuances.
