Hazelburn Sherry Wood 15 Year Old Oloroso Cask Matured Scotch Whisky

Hazelburn Sherry Wood 15 Year Old Oloroso Cask Matured 2022 Edition is the annual limited release from Springbank’s triple-distilled and entirely unpeated Hazelburn expression — matured exclusively in 100% Oloroso Sherry casks, 9,000 bottles produced worldwide, bottled at 54.2% ABV without chill filtration, presenting a complex and full-bodied dram of zesty orange and tangerine, milk chocolate, wine gums, and fruit cake on the nose.

The annually released Hazelburn Sherrywood range contrasts sharply with the fully bourbon-matured Hazelburn 10 Year Old — the 100% Oloroso sherry cask maturation for the full term (rather than a finish) producing the most intensely sherry-integrated version of the characteristically light, clean, and smoke-free Hazelburn character. At 54.2% ABV and non-chill filtered at 9,000 worldwide bottles, this is a concentrated and premium annual limited expression. Browse the full Scotch whisky collection at Wooden Cork.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Zesty orange and tangerine notes opening up to hints of milk chocolate, wine gums, and fruit cake
• Palate: The Oloroso maturation presenting itself in notes of cinnamon, hard toffee, and milk chocolate with a musty element reminiscent of cigar boxes and nutmeg
• Finish: The cinnamon note persisting with notes of gingerbread and ground pepper developing
