Hazelburn 15 Year Old Campbeltown Whisky Oloroso Cask 2023

Hazelburn 15 Year Old Oloroso Cask (2023 Release) is a limited annual sherry-matured release from Springbank’s unpeated, triple-distilled Hazelburn style. Distilled in June 2008 and bottled in September 2023, it’s matured fully in Oloroso casks and released at cask strength (55.8% ABV). With 9,000 bottles produced and the “once-a-year” nature of the Sherry Wood series, this sits right in the sweet spot for buyers who want Springbank pedigree with a richer, darker sherry profile—without the peat.

Tasting Notes (style-led, based on Hazelburn + Oloroso maturation)
Nose: Rich dried fruits, toasted nuts and dark honey, with polished oak, cocoa and a subtle citrus oil lift.

Finish: Long, warming and gently drying, with lingering sherry richness, nutty oak and sweet spice.

Why This Bottle Is Worth Bidding On
- Annual, limited Hazelburn Sherry Wood release: a dependable “event bottling” that many Springbank fans collect year-on-year.
- Full Oloroso maturation at cask strength (55.8%) gives it real depth and intensity, while Hazelburn’s triple distillation keeps the profile refined rather than heavy.
- A strong all-rounder for collectors and drinkers: big sherry character, clear dates, and a known outturn (9,000 bottles).
