Суммаризация отзывов

Молодой Hazelburn 2017 из-под Oloroso: отзывы сходятся на выразительном, «грязноватом» характере дистиллята Springbank, шерри-тонах и заметной молодости. Мнения о балансе расходятся — от восторга до упрёков в одномерности и «залитом» шерри.

развернуть подробно

В носах чаще всего описывают шерри-составляющую: шоколад, кофе, сухофрукты (изюм, фиги, чернослив), орехи, апельсин и апельсиновую корку, а также «грязные», маслянистые и индустриальные ноты — кожа, воск, полироль, машинное масло, влажный подвал, лёгкий торф и фирменная «фанк»-нота Springbank. Часть отзывов отмечает солёный и минеральный подтон, специи (корица, гвоздика), а также закрытость аромата, требующую времени в бокале. Вкус описывают как маслянистый и округлый, с шерри, шоколадом, орехами, карамелью, цитрусом и красными фруктами; неоднократно подчёркивается, что шерри не подавляет дистиллят, хотя есть и противоположные мнения — что шерри «залит» или что виски одномерен. Финиш в большинстве отзывов средний или средне-короткий, с шоколадом, сухофруктами, специями, дубом и лёгкой горечью; именно на финише, по ряду отзывов, проявляется молодость. Общий тон отзывов скорее положительный: виски называют вкусным, хорошо сделанным и впечатляющим для восьмилетнего возраста, с хорошей интеграцией 48,2% и активной бочкой. При этом повторяются замечания о молодости, недостатке глубины и развития, простоте и «спиртуозности»; несколько отзывов прямо называют его несбалансированным или разочаровывающим. Несколько человек отмечают, что он выигрывает от воздуха в бутылке, а сравнения с другими релизами Springbank дают смешанные результаты.

I've had this a few times now and every time it surprises me. On paper - Hazelburn, 8 years old, sherry, fairly low ABV - this would appear one of the "friendlier" type of whiskies coming out of the Springbank distillery, but the reality is the complete opposite of an easy dram. It's bone dry, salty, slightly tannic on the palate and filled with a slight peatiness/Springbank funk/cigar box/engine oil type of vibe on the nose. Only in the finish do you start getting a bit of sweetness. Absolutely jam packed with flavour and smell too. I think this is a very impressive release, especially at only 8 years old.

Tasted in Baden 10/25. The exhibitor claims to have had the bottle on the counter back in May. I must have missed it. Man, is it delicious. His hand briefly twitched towards his wallet...

Slàinte Mhath Super Administrator 87 22 nov 2025 4:52 pm

Quick hit review. A young malt from fresh Oloroso casks - usually that should set off alarm bells. However, the good people at Springbank know what they are doing. The nose is extremely funky and flinty, think of imploded TVs, copper coins and gunpowder, taking turns with pink grapefruit, plums and barnyard notes. On the palate, zesty oranges, lime juice and raisins mingle with caramel, menthol and hints of salt. Citrus fruits, resinous oak and lingering herbs remain in the savory finish. I'm pleased that the sherry isn't too dominant - this is a great Hazelburn. RATING: 4.0/5.0 stars ≙ 87 pts → FIRST-CLASS

WhiskyLovingPianist Connoisseur 88 28 nov 2025 6:51 pm

https://whiskylovingpianist.wordpress.com/2025/11/28/dramdiary-sessions-nov-2025/ C: If you’re wanting for oloroso to steer young Hazelburn, then this could be your bag, and for many, it’s just that. From my perspective, plenty is lost/compromised [to the cask], including jam & quince jelly notes so prevalent and key to the Hazelburn profile. That said, the oloroso character, here, is welcomed in its own right, but like Kilkerran also, I often struggle to see the pros over the cons over this approach – as someone who feels protective over HB you understand. All in all, plenty to admire.

Нос	88	Leather, rubber, a touch of caramel. The distillery's character is clearly recognizable; there's a dirty, oily quality. Somewhere in the background, a few red fruits lurk. This whisky doesn't hide its youth, yet it still seems complex.
Вкус	89	In the mouth, more red fruitiness, wild berries, again a lovely, typical dirtiness, rubber and a bit of oil in the gears. Leather, a touch of wood. Truly delicious.
Финиш	88	Finish again characterized by light fruit, dirty, oily notes and a nice bitterness from the wood

Hazelburn 8 year old, 2017-2025, 48.2%, ex-oloroso cask. 25ml sample from HopScotch, consumed Sep 2025. Mid tone amber. Aroma is orange and rhubarb, some eucalyptus, subtle redcurrant and cherry cough sweets. With time those tangy initial notes die down and it becomes more brooding and cherryish. Body is rounded, moderately oily. Very soft on the palate yet has a big punch of cheesy Springbank funk to start, unsweet cherry, raisin. Some soft woodiness pulls through all the fruit. Definitely doesn’t drink young and not too cask dominated either. It’s a good dram. Fairly simplistic but definitely very enjoyable. 3.65/87

Both in the aroma and in the taste there is a strong sherry, chocolate, dried figs, goat, maybe nuts, but also a very pleasant salty undertone which I was quite pleased with. The whisky is very smooth, very easy to drink. I could have liked it very much if I didn't hate such sherry whiskies....

Typical Springbank musty aroma from an old cellar. Red berry compote with tart currant. Lots of cinnamon. Orange studded with clove. Slightly pungent on the nose. Significantly sweeter on the palate. The fruit clearly dominates. Sweet cherries with cream and a dash of Amarena cherry. Very tasty but relatively simple.

A sample from Slàinte Mhath. In the recent Springbank release I chose the Longrow 100 Proof over this. That is not opened yet, so I can't be sure, but I liked this one so much I may come to regret my choice.

Нос	88	First thing that hit me is the sherry wood. But it's all good. Quality cask. Chocolate, coffee, plums, sweet orange. Light note of old mechanical machinery.
Вкус	89	Oily texture. Sweet dark coffee, almost like a coffee liqueur. Light spice and some dry herbs. Despite that Hazelburn is un-peated there is a good amount of "funky" earthiness here.
Финиш	87	More wood coming through in a medium+ finish. Still a lot of sweetness, but it goes in the direction of dry.

Here's another tasting from my favorite distillery. I lose a little objectivity with this distillery, although it also makes me more demanding. Of the three brands, Hazelburn is the one that gives me the fewest thrills, behind Longrow and the absolute master, Springbank. But here we can say that it's really well done.

Tasted from a sample, in a head to head of two young Springbank releases, the recent Hazelburn 8 Oloroso (WB277986) and the 8yo 2024 Local Barley (WB266696). The Springbank shows more structure and development at this age, but its powerful spirit is still somewhat untamed. The Hazelburn is delicious and has matured faster, but its youth shows in the lack of development and finish. I think they’re roughly equal in enjoyment, but I wouldn’t go out of my way for a bottle, especially at auction prices for the Local Barley. The standard 10 is more impressive, and I’ve had much better Local Barleys. Still nice though, and they’re definitely not boring.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	88	Soft and gentle, with a nice balance between distillate and cask. With a warm boozy fruitiness that brings it closer to some young rums than whiskies: mango, coconut, raspberry, with perhaps some tart cranberry. The signature gunky, earthy waxiness comes through nicely, and the youth barely shows in the faintest spirity edge and fresh wood spice. That’s to be expected; this triple-distilled style tends to show well at an early age. Water brings out more of the Oloroso in raisins and walnuts, while revealing some oranges and a little lime.
Вкус	87	Medium-light, yet with an enjoyably waxy and oily mouthfeel. Starts beautifully fresh, with zesty citrus on an elegant maltiness, keeping the signature punchy lime note alive throughout the palate, and showing a hint of passion fruit because of it. There’s a good level of maturity here as well, but most of the event is in the arrival, with not much change in the development. Supporting the fruits and the malt, we have earthy/mossy/volcanic-mineral and damp woody aspects adding complexity, yet I feel it’s a little less together than the nose was.
Финиш	86	Initially fairly simple, spicy and spirity, this is where the illusion is revealed, and we’re reminded that this lovely number is still rather young. There are long echoes of pleasing citrus fruit though, which are not bad at all.

The nose is an absolute force: very expressive, surprisingly ripe and – for a Hazelburn – quite robust. On the palate and in the finish, it definitely reveals itself as an eight-year-old youngster, so that in the end you get exactly what the label says: an 8yo Hazelburn.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	88	Fresh leather, a touch of furniture polish, raisin bread, rum-grape-nut chocolate, marzipan, and a hint of fermented blueberries. Earthy and mineral, although the latter aroma is nowhere near as pronounced as, for example, in the current Springbank 8 Local Barley. It doesn't make an immature impression at all; the nose is very promising.
Вкус	85	A fruity and creamy start, slightly tingling, similar to a not-yet-fully-dissolved multivitamin tablet. The taste is also consistent, with its fruity notes seeming more like they're of artificial origin. After the initial creaminess that settled on the tongue, the malt rises from the tongue—driven by a menthol note—and now floats freely in the mouth. Spicy, mineral aromas, marzipan, strong espresso.
Финиш	84	Relatively short, but very tasty, mineral and spicy finish, with a hint of menthol still present.

NieZnajacSieNaWhisky Expert Senior 87 31 aug 2025 8:03 pm

Aroma: Blackberries, horse blanket, dried fruit (peaches, plums), almonds, ripe strawberries, wild rose jam. Oak, camphor, old raspberry jam. Taste: Lots of dark chocolate, but not overwhelmingly sweet. Gooseberries, chokeberries, hazelnuts, candied pineapple, orange zest, a hint of spices. Finish: Even more dark chocolate. Chocolate-covered raisins, maple syrup, hazelnuts, gooseberries, currants. Pleasant fruity tartness and light tannins at the end.

A nice and tasty, sherried Hazelburn (as so many of them are). My only question is this: where does the cask end and the whisky begin...?

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	88	NOSE: Cereal, honeyed young Oloroso notes with dried yellow and red fruits, sweet wheat or semolina porridge, dried citrus notes of orange rind (fresh and dried), orange oil and orange liqueur, then smokey notes, think hints of Lapsang Souchong. All in all a pretty interesting, if soemwhat "well behaved" nose. (88-89p)
Вкус	88	TASTE: The arrival is sweet, almost honeyed before the citrus acidity and mild spiciness sets in on the mid palate. Fresh cream toffee, even Creme Brulee. To me there is clearly a sweet milky/dairy side to this taste, revisiting my previous notes I still find "Highland Ceylon tea with milk" (87-88p)
Финиш	86	FINISH: Sweet, honeyed, with "modern" heather honey influence (I think that's the young, light Oloroso cask speaking). (86p)

The malt has its qualities, which fit very well into the range of slightly dirty Hazelburn Olotoso maturations. At this young age, it's absolutely unmistakably Springbank Distillery, even though it's unpeated and triple distilled. The nose promises a bit more depth than the palate can actually convey. Nevertheless, I like this young maturation, even slightly better than many of the 12/13/14 year releases; the casks were quite active over the eight years. The bottle was freshly opened yesterday, and if there's any oxygen left, Hazelburn will come back into my sights, as I currently prefer the distillery's light and heavily smoky versions. Edit 11 days later: The air has already done the whole thing a world of good. I'm raising the rating slightly for the neck and significantly for the finish.

Andre Lautensack Expert Senior 82 05 aug 2025 9:33 am

Hazelburn is probably not for my palate young, impetuous, unbalanced, the sherry is simply ironed on, does not go well together A fair price would be under €100, although for other distilleries you would be closer to €50. I can't understand why anyone would pay €120 or more for this, but I hope everyone enjoys it!

Нос	88	Fairly modern Oloroso Sherry nose.Sweet semolina and a grainy note reminiscent of wheat or oats. Citrus notes, mainly fresh orange peel / orange oil and Bergamot oil. Later heather honey and light toffee.
Вкус	87	Light Sherry driven palate (the lighter side of Oloroso, or in other words this appears to have been in casks seasoned by fairly young and light Oloroso). Light sweetness. Light toffee. Highland Ceylon tea with milk. With time some slightly darker and honnied notes appear.
Финиш	86	Light and sweet. Some heather honey.

Hazelburn 8 is a complex and well-balanced whisky. Objectively, it deserves 87 points, but subjectively, it lacks that special something. Therefore, I'm giving it 86 points.

Nose Grass, sour grass, overripe lemons, hint of honey, wet forest morning, sour Really really interesting and unique nose. I don’t know I like it but it’s definitely distinctive. Palate The palate and finish basically mirror the nose. The nose does set the experience for this whisky. Herbal, herbal tea, garden herbs and spices, grassy, sour lemons, not much sherry other than some red berries, red apples, possibly a sour cask. Light bodied. Finish Sour, grassy, red fruit sweetness and gentle It’s hard to make sense of this one… characterful certainly comes to mind.

Really impressed and surprised by this. The nose has a lovely autumnal combination of nutty sherry and damp earth. The palate is where the classic Campbeltown funk hits you, and the finish follows up with coal tar, sticky toffee and wax jackets. 2cl sample from the June '25 tasting kit. I need to get me a bottle...

This was a sample courtesy of Peatbogger and Slainte Mhath. Again it's been a long time since I've had a Hazelburn and it's good to see you my friend I've missed you.

Нос	88	The unmistakable Oloroso nose and this has the trademarks. It's always baked cake for me and if it's straight out of the oven then it's a winner. Stewed and dried fruits is another one. There is something warm and pleasing.
Вкус	90	This just hits the spot on first arrival an then just snowballs with flavours and texture. This comes from a high end cask, just about flawless. A lovely mouthfeel and it's firing in all directions. Do I detect some smokey notes in there somewhere. I'm not even going to attempt to add water, it would be a crime.
Финиш	89	There is minimal spice in this and at times that let's everything else shine, then the spice can do what it wants towards the end.

Musty oak, wax, polish, industrial oils, a hint of earthy peat, minerals, stone fruits, caramel, herbs, spices, nuts, malty. Short to medium finish here the youth shows and it's a bit flat, the 48.2% abv is integrated allright.

Нос	88	Dusty and slight dried fruits. Kind of closed even after 30 minutes in the glass. Maybe some red fruits and hint of nuts/marzipan... Now after 45 minutes the nose starts to develop. Warming spices fill the aroma. Chocolate, cinnamon and other baking spices.
