Hazelburn represents Springbank's triple-distilled, unpeated expression—a departure from their standard lightly peated whisky and heavily peated Longrow—creating a lighter, more delicate spirit that benefits beautifully from sherry cask aging. This 8-year-old expression has been fully matured in casks that previously held Oloroso sherry, imparting deep fruit flavors, nutty richness, and a luxurious sweetness that complements the whisky's inherent elegance. As a limited release from one of Scotland's most respected family-owned distilleries, this expression demonstrates how even relatively young whisky can achieve remarkable complexity and sophistication when matched with quality casks and traditional craftsmanship that includes floor malting, triple distillation, and bottling without chill filtration or added coloring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, Hazelburn 8 Year Oloroso Cask reveals an inviting bouquet of rich dried fruits, Christmas cake, and sherry sweetness with notes of raisins, figs, dark chocolate, toasted nuts, and gentle spice. The palate delivers a beautifully balanced experience where the light, elegant Hazelburn spirit meets the opulent influence of Oloroso sherry, creating layers of flavor with notes of dark fruit, toffee, orange peel, cinnamon, nutmeg, and oak that showcase perfect integration between spirit and cask. The finish is long and satisfying with lingering dried fruit, gentle spice, nutty richness, and a pleasant sweetness. The triple distillation creates a lighter, more refined spirit character than typical Scotch, allowing the sherry influence to shine through while maintaining the whisky's delicate complexity. Best enjoyed neat or with just a few drops of water to explore the interplay between Hazelburn's elegant spirit and the rich sherry cask character. Whether you're a Scotch enthusiast exploring Campbeltown's diverse offerings, seeking sherry-matured whiskies with elegance rather than overwhelming sweetness, or collecting limited releases from Springbank's exceptional range, Hazelburn 8 Year Oloroso Cask delivers refined complexity and the perfect marriage of triple-distilled lightness with rich sherry depth that showcases why this distillery remains one of Scotland's most revered producers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springbank","offers":[{"title":"700 ml","offer_id":44859599618246,"sku":"40611225","price":174.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1569\/9643\/files\/bottle_place_holder_ee626bbd-a5b7-4ecf-8a95-045fc5e1ff6d.jpg?v=1754078869"},{"product_id":"springbank-5-year-114-proof-single-malt-scotch","title":"Springbank 5 Year 114 Proof Single Malt Scotch","description":"\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*This Club Shop bottle has purchase restrictions. To learn more, visit our Club Shop\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bittersandbottles.com\/pages\/club-shop-entry\"\u003eAbout\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003epage.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpringbank Distillery is the oldest independent, family-owned distillery in Scotland, legal distillation beginning in 1828. The chairman is Hedley Wright, the great, great grandson of John Mitchell, the first legal distiller of Springbank whiskey. There are few Scottish distilleries that still malt their own barley, but Springbank is the only distillery which malts 100% of its own barley, using traditional floor malting. The whole production process: malting, milling, mashing, fermentation, distillation, maturation and bottling, happens on one site in Campbeltown. This is unique in Scotland. With a character all of its own, thanks to the use of lightly peated barley and a unique two-and-a-half-times distillation process, Springbank is beloved by malt-heads for its complex, full bodied maritime whiskies, made in the old school style. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAged for five years in a combination of ex-bourbon and refill casks, this expression is bottled at cask strength—57% ABV—to preserve its full texture and flavor integrity.
