Hazelburn 21 Year Old Triple Distilled Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch

Hazelburn 21-Year-Old Triple Distilled Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch is a testament to the craftsmanship of the Springbank Distillery. Introduced in 1997, the Hazelburn range is known for its triple distillation and unpeated character, resulting in a creamy, delicate, and light spirit. The absence of peat lets the distillery's character shine through unobscured. You'll discover the essence of Campbeltown in each drop—maritime influences merged with delicate fruits and refined oak.

This 21-year-old expression is matured in a combination of 80% bourbon, 10% sherry, and 10% port casks, offering a complex and refined flavor profile.

Nose: Delicate orchard fruits—ripe apples and juicy pears—mingle with honey and vanilla bean. Fresh citrus notes of lemon zest and orange blossom provide bright counterpoints. Subtle maritime salt air weaves through hints of marzipan and toasted nuts. Gentle oak influence brings cinnamon, nutmeg, and traces of polished leather.

Palate: Velvety and complex with initial waves of honey-drizzled apples and poached pears. Creamy vanilla and butterscotch unfold into candied citrus peel and white chocolate. The coastal influence emerges with subtle salinity complementing notes of toasted almonds. Warming baking spices and oak tannins provide structure without overwhelming the delicate fruit notes.

Finish: Gloriously long with lingering fruit sweetness gradually giving way to dry oak spice. Gentle waves of vanilla, toffee, and honey recede like the tide. The maritime character remains throughout, leaving traces of salt and subtle minerality. Wisps of cinnamon and white pepper provide a final, warming embrace.

This refined dram pairs beautifully with fresh seafood—particularly scallops or lobster with drawn butter. The whisky's complexity complements aged cheeses like Comté or a nutty Manchego. For dessert, try it alongside vanilla crème brûlée or apple tart with a light dusting of cinnamon. The subtle maritime notes also work wonderfully with smoked salmon or a delicate fish terrine. For something unique, pair with white chocolate featuring sea salt and almond slivers.
