How much can a distillery change its practices over time whilst retaining its identity? From the mashbill to the washbacks, the role of the stillman to the shape of the stills and the very material they were made of, every aspect of the way this whisky was produced has today been consigned to the history books. Carrying a heavier, more aromatic new make character than whisky produced at Girvan today, this rare release has matured majestically to create a full-bodied, mouth-filling whisky of remarkable complexity – a lost style, impossible to recreate again using modern methods.

Aromas of nostalgia are immediately apparent within this Single Grain, with a sense of camping stove burners and wax jackets. The oiliness is complimented by the presence of Muscovado sugar.? The palate carries this sugar sweetness, now developing into stewed rhubarb and gooseberries - a fresh and tart fruit coulis.

Limited to 123 bottles.

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.
