This remarkable 1977 single grain is defined by its uniquely prominent thyme note, a character born of both an unusual offtake point during distillation at Girvan and the slow evolution of maize-based spirit over 48 years in a first-fill sherry butt. The nose opens with subtle sherry, gentle herbal freshness and a sherbet brightness, all of which gain definition with a drop of water. On the palate, rich oak, delicate spice and that signature herbal quality broaden into the depth of well-steeped floral tea, creating a whisky that feels truly singular – a liquid time capsule from a distillation era long gone.

A release of just 219 bottles, A Different World represents both rarity and irreproducible character. It is a grain whisky that defies expectations, its green, herbaceous new-make origins transformed across decades into something quietly complex and deeply evocative.

House of Hazelwood

Age, Provenance and Rarity

For almost one hundred years, generations of the Gordon family have carefully laid down stocks of whisky for special occasions and personal consumption. This rare collection has become known as House of Hazelwood, after the family’s Dufftown home – Hazelwood House.

Today, the collection has grown to become the greatest inventory of aged Scotch whisky held anywhere in the world. Spanning seven decades and every corner of Scotland. The House of Hazelwood range represents the first time bottlings from these casks have been made available to the public. Each whisky is as interesting as it is unique whether they are rare old blends which have been maturing for decades or casks from long-closed distilleries.
