Hazelburn 17 Years Old
Today, Hazelburn is a triple-distilled distillate produced at the Springbank distillery in Campbeltown. Its name is a homage to the original Hazelburn distillery that once stood in the town. The roots of triple distillation go back to Ireland (not too far from Campbeltown) and showcase how old the original Hazelburn was. Established in 1796, it stood in the Longrow South area of the town, before moving in 1840 to a large site near Glengyle road. By this time, it was Campbeltown’s largest distillery, equipped with its largest stills (no mean feat given how many competitors there were) and it was highly regarded for its whisky. Sadly, like so many Campbeltown distilleries it closed its doors in the 1920s, although some of the distillery buildings still stand. You can celebrate its legacy with a bottle of the lovely 10 year old produced by Springbank, who also release Hazelburn in a variety of editions.
