Hazelburn 14 Rum Single Cask

Thanks to /u/ScotchGuy_TO for pouring me a dram. Rum Casks. Or as I call them, a trap. Look, you can argue however you like: Rum casks are variable, I’ve had few of them where the rum matured or rum finished just… completely shat the bed. To use the technical term. Enter Hazelburn 14 Rum Single Cask. Yes, that’s […]

Three Hazelburn Reviews

I sometimes feel like Hazelburn is the last child in a family of really smart kids. Look, you got Springbank. A tough, unique, amazing whisky. Easy oldest kid, gets straight As, is popular without being a dick about it. Then you have Longrow: Peated, doesn’t really have to try, still does, gets these cool red […]

Hazelburn 13 2004 Oloroso Cask Matured

I was never a step child. Yeah, I know, look at me bragging about my parents being able to find happiness and have a balanced, healthy relationship that was a positive impact on their lives. So when I call Hazelburn the red-headed step child of the Springbank family, I mean only as much as it’s […]

Hazelburn 13 2003 Oloroso & Hazelburn 9 Sauternes Single Cask

Thanks /u/Orehnmadgib for pouring these for me. While going through my samples I realized that I had quite a few Campbeltown samples. And that I hadn’t drunk Campbeltown in awhile. I should fix that. Up first we have Hazelburn. Of the few distilleries in the once mighty Campbeltown region, Hazelburn goes under the radar, at least in […]

Hazelburn CV

Thanks to /u/cake_my_day for this sample. When I first started drinking different whiskies and reviewing them, I slowly heard about Campbeltown. To give an idea of how little most knew about it, when I took the Scotch Whisky Tour in Edinborough, the tasting didn’t include anything from the region. Yes, the place with one of the largest […]

Hazelburn 10 / Hazelburn 8 Sauternes Finish

Thanks to /u/Schockwaves and /u/cjotto9 for these samples. Campbeltown. The very name of the region breeds confusion, history, sadness, happiness, and even a little bit of horniness for various whisky fans. A lot of us have only had a handful of drams from there. When asked to explain an Islay, we can. When asked to explain […]

Hazelburn 8 & 12

So it’s the days leading up to Thanksgiving.. Wait, no it isn’t, I blabbered on about Thanksgiving two reviews ago… oh damn, I got these out of order. Whatever, not like anyone follows them chronologically. That and I do enjoy a pulp style story. So it’s the day… wait, no, go back further. So I’m […]
