Hazelburn 10 Year Old 2026 Release
Hazelburn 10 Year Old is the flagship expression from Springbank Distillery’s unpeated range, named in tribute to one of Campbeltown’s historic “lost” distilleries from the town’s golden age as the self-proclaimed Whisky Capital of the World. Distilled using Springbank’s traditional triple-distillation method — a rarity in Scotch whisky production — Hazelburn is crafted for exceptional smoothness, elegance, and purity of flavour.
Matured exclusively in 100% ex-bourbon casks, this 2026 release is bottled naturally, without chill filtration or added colouring, allowing the whisky’s true character to shine through.

Description
Hazelburn 10 Year Old 2026 Release
Hazelburn stands apart as the most understated expression to emerge from Springbank Distillery — a whisky defined not by peat smoke or sherry richness, but by clarity, texture, and quiet complexity. Where Springbank itself is distilled two-and-a-half times and lightly peated, and Longrow is twice-distilled with a bold, heavily peated character, Hazelburn takes a different path entirely: crafted from 100% unpeated malted barley and run through all three of the distillery’s traditional copper pot stills. This triple distillation — a technique rarely practised in Scotch whisky today — strips away weight and roughness, leaving behind a spirit of remarkable purity and finesse.
Release Profile
This 2026 release has matured for a full decade in mature ex-bourbon oak casks, a maturation regime chosen deliberately to let the spirit’s own character take centre stage rather than being overlaid with heavy smoke or rich sherry influence. The result is a whisky that showcases Hazelburn’s signature interplay of gentle oiliness, ripe orchard and tropical fruit, and the faint, characterful mustiness of Springbank’s dunnage warehouses — where whisky rests on earthen floors, absorbing subtle notes of damp stone and old oak over years of quiet ageing.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: An elegant opening of baked pineapple, lemon sherbet, and honeycomb, softened by dried orange peel and a faint waxy oiliness that hints at the spirit’s triple-distilled body.
- Palate: Silken and rounded, with crisp green apple set against a creamy, custard-like sweetness. Beneath this, a subtle vegetal note and gentle warehouse muskiness lend the dram an understated depth rarely found in lighter-style malts.
- Finish: Long and gently earthy, closing with salted caramel, warming ginger, and toasted coconut, before fading into a faint mineral dryness reminiscent of Campbeltown’s coastal warehouses.
Bottled without chill filtration or added colouring, Hazelburn 10 Year Old is presented exactly as it left the cask — an honest, beautifully balanced whisky that rewards close attention. It is a dram for those who appreciate nuance over intensity: a Campbeltown single malt built on precision distillation and patient, unembellished maturation, rather than smoke or sherry spice.
Perfect for: Collectors seeking an authentic, technically distinctive Campbeltown malt; discerning drinkers who favour subtlety and craftsmanship over bold, heavily peated styles; those looking to explore the quieter, more refined side of Springbank’s portfolio.
