Hazelburn 13 Year Old 2007 - Oloroso Cask
Springbank
Tasting Notes
Hazelburn's 13 Year Old 2007 Oloroso Cask is a delightful symphony of flavors, orchestrated by the masterful influence of Oloroso sherry casks. Upon nosing, a delectable fusion of chocolate-coated almonds and succulent red fruits captivates the senses, harmonized with hints of mint chocolate and bittersweet coffee. The palate unveils a tantalizing melange of flavors, where oranges dance with chocolate, tobacco lends an earthy undertone, and blueberries offer a burst of vibrancy. As the journey progresses, peppery oak, dried apple, and dark chocolate unfurl their nuances. The finish lingers like a decadent treat, evoking the indulgence of blackberry jam on toast, complemented by the comforting familiarity of an oat and raisin cookie. This unpeated, sherried gem from Campbeltown's Springbank distillery, bottled at a robust 50.3% ABV in September 2020, is a testament to the artistry of cask maturation.
