Hazelburn 8

Country: Scotland

Region: Campbeltown

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 46%

Score: 85 Points

Hazelburn is Springbank’s Irish-style single malt, unpeated and triple-distilled the way Frank McCarthy used to do it at Bushmills. The nose is light, aromatic, and floral with a touch of honey and lemon. The finish is strong and peppery, with an underlying honey sweetness and a slight touch of saltiness on the tongue. The salty touch dominates the finish, which is nice and warming. It’s excellent for such a young malt!
