A collaboration with whisky writer Dave Broom, The Accelerator and The Brake is a 33 year old blend of two strongly contrasting parcels of whisky, blended to create a harmonious whole.

This mature spirit boasts a dense, heavy character reminiscent of an autumnal forest, brightened by hints of sunlight. It unveils an aromatic blend of dark berries, subtle leather, light smoke, and roasted Oolong tea. The palate surprises with its initial sweetness, revealing flavors of maple, pecan pie, and chocolate, evolving into a profile similar to old rum with notes of allspice and molasses. Its linseed oil-like texture adds silkiness, balance, and length. The finish is long, starting with ripe fruits and transitioning to intense, mellowing spices, reminiscent of After Eight mints. This blend showcases an exceptional balance and complexity, with a dynamic grain flavor complemented by a more subdued malt presence, creating a unique and powerful experience.

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.
