Review #846; Scotch #200: Hazelburn 13yr (2007)

This single malt comes to us by way of the Springbank distillery. This single malt was aged for 13 years, distilled in 2007, and the 6300 bottle is a blend of 75% ex-bourbon and 25% ex-sherry casks. This single malt has no color added and was non-chill filtered.

ABV: 46.8%

Nose: Raisins, Wax, Floral, Honey, Vanilla, Slight Dirty Campfire Smoke,

Palate: Lighter mouthfeel, Slight Dirty campfire smoke, Honey, Vanilla, Floral, Raisins

Finish: Medium finish, Floral, Light Smoke, Vanilla, Honey, Raisins.

Rating: 6/10

This is a Very good whiskey. Its delicate but it aids in it its expression of notes. The floral plays well with the honey and tempers the slight dirty notes. A very good expression, though the mouthfeel leaves a bit of something to be desire.
