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.
