Hazelburn 21 Year Old Scotch Whisky 2023
43.2% ABV (86.4 proof) | 700mL | 21 years old | Unpeated, triple-distilled Campbeltown single malt | 80% ex-bourbon / 10% ex-sherry / 10% ex-port | 3,600 bottles worldwide — Hazelburn 21 Year Old (2023) is the oldest Hazelburn ever released: 21 years of maturation at Springbank distillery in Campbeltown, bottled 2 March 2023. Hazelburn is Springbank's unpeated, triple-distilled style — first distilled in 1997 — and two decades in a three-cask recipe of bourbon, sherry, and port wood gives it a depth no younger Hazelburn can touch. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
Springbank (est. 1828) is Scotland's oldest family-run distillery, and Hazelburn is its gentlest voice: no peat, three distillations, all patience. The official notes run from leather-bound books and dunnage warehouses to treacle, caramel, and bramble on the nose, then marshmallow, candy floss, and a syrupy, subtly mineral palate, finishing on cocoa powder, cappuccino, and mint. Among 21-year-old single malts, an unpeated Campbeltown at this age is a genuine rarity. No artificial coloring; not chill-filtered.
