Archive Details
A Rich Oloroso Matured Hazelburn
Distilled in June 2008 and bottled in September 2023, this Hazelburn 15 Year Old was matured exclusively in fresh Oloroso sherry casks for its full maturation period. Produced at Springbank distillery in Campbeltown, Hazelburn is the unpeated and triple distilled style within the Springbank range. Bottled at natural cask strength without chill filtration or added colouring, this release delivers a rich and deeply sherried interpretation of mature Campbeltown whisky.

About the Distillery
Springbank remains one of the whisky world’s most respected traditional distilleries, producing whisky entirely on-site in Campbeltown using historic methods rarely preserved elsewhere in Scotland. Produced at the family owned distillery on the Kintyre Peninsula in western Scotland, Springbank’s three distinctive styles — Springbank, Longrow, and Hazelburn — have achieved cult status among collectors and enthusiasts globally.
About the Bottling
Hazelburn releases are produced in significantly smaller quantities than many mainstream Scotch whiskies, with the triple distilled and unpeated style offering a softer and more spirit-driven interpretation of Campbeltown whisky. Fully matured in fresh Oloroso sherry casks for 15 years, this release balances rich sherry influence with the oily texture and complexity that define Springbank production.
