Great to see Hazelburn 10 Year Old return to stock, an unpeated, triple-distilled single malt from Springbank Distillery and a long standing favourite. Distilled at Springbank since 1997, Hazelburn is defined by its gentle, elegant character and the soft, oily texture typical of Campbeltown. Sweet notes of baked pineapple, lemon sherbet, honeycomb and dried orange peel carry a light but characterful dram that plays to Hazelburn's more delicate side. An easy drinking, refined Campbeltown single malt, and always a welcome one.
