Hazelburn 2004 Cadenhead's Warehouse Tasting 13 Year Old

Hazelburn 2004 Cadenhead’s Warehouse Tasting 13 Year Old is a single cask, sherry-matured Campbeltown malt from Springbank’s unpeated Hazelburn style, bottled by legendary independent bottler William Cadenhead. Drawn from a sherry hogshead and bottled in 2018 at a hefty 54.8% ABV, this is exactly the sort of “in the know” release that tends to get attention: distillery pedigree, Cadenhead’s credibility, and a warehouse tasting bottling that feels inherently limited and special.

Tasting Notes (typical profile for sherry-cask Hazelburn)
Nose: Rich dried fruits (sultana, fig), toffee and chocolate, with polished oak and a subtle waxy/malty backbone.
Palate: Full-bodied and oily — fruitcake, treacle and sweet spice, balanced by roasted nuts and a slightly savoury, Campbeltown-leaning edge.
Finish: Long, warming and gently drying, with lingering dark fruit, cocoa and spiced oak.

Why This Bottle Is Worth Bidding On
- Hazelburn is produced in smaller quantities than Springbank/Longrow, and single cask releases are consistently chased.
- Cadenhead’s Warehouse Tasting bottlings have extra “provenance appeal” for collectors, often being harder to replace once opened or sold.
- 54.8% ABV and sherry hogshead maturation is a strong spec for buyers who want intensity and depth without peat influence.
