The House of Hazelwood 25yo American Oak Casks is a premium blended whisky crafted by the esteemed William Grant & Sons distillery. Introduced in 2015, this exceptional whisky pays homage to the late Janet Sheed Roberts and her cherished Hazelwood House, situated near the Glenfiddich Distillery. The bottle's design, inspired by the vibrant and rapidly evolving city of Shanghai in the 1920s, captures the essence of the era with its striking Art Deco aesthetics. The whisky's rich color—a blend of turquoise, gold, and amber—attests to its high-end Ultra-Premium classification. The core of this whisky's flavor profile is derived from Girvan distillates, enriched with select drops from the Grant family's private collection. It presents a tantalizing array of notes: caramelized sugar, vanilla, and distinct Bourbon-cask influences, harmonized with nuances of dry oak, citrus, freshly cut grass, and delicate spices. At the pinnacle of the House of Hazelwood range, the 25-Year-Old expression embodies the expertise of Master Blender Brian Kinsman, who meticulously combines the finest single malts and ages them in American oak casks. This careful aging process allows the complex and diverse flavors to meld and soften, resulting in a truly unique, rare, and extraordinary whisky. Presented in a bottle and box that evoke the artistic elegance of the 1920s Art Deco movement, this whisky is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of its creators.
Its distinctiveness lies in the combination of rare distillates from Kininvie and Girvan, the influence of American oak casks, and the special drops from the Grant family's private collection, all carefully crafted by Master Blender Brian Kinsman.
