Hazelburn Distillery was a distillery in Campbeltown, Scotland, which operated from approximately 1825 to 1925. Their annually released Hazelburn Sherry Wood 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.
NOSE: Zesty orange and tangerine notes initiate this dram, opening up to hints of milk chocolate, wine gums, and fruit cake.
PALATE: The oloroso maturation presents itself in notes of cinnamon, hard toffee and milk chocolate. There is a musty element reminiscent of cigar boxes and nutmeg.
FINISH: The cinnamon note persists, with notes of gingerbread and ground pepper developing in the finish.
