Description
Hazelburn 8 Year Old First Edition
The Hazelburn 8 Year Old First Edition 3 x 70cl set is distinguished not only by its importance as the first official Hazelburn release, but also by its beautifully presented trio of artwork labels. Each bottle features original commissioned watercolor artwork by Scottish artist Ian Gray, with each illustration capturing a different stage of Springbank’s traditional whisky-making process.
Together, the three labels form a visual tribute to Springbank’s hands-on production methods, reflecting the distillery’s rare commitment to carrying out every major stage of whisky production on site in Campbeltown.
The Three Artwork Labels
| Label | Artwork Subject | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The Stills | Copper pot stills | This label depicts the copper pot stills used in the distillation of Hazelburn. As an unpeated, triple-distilled spirit, Hazelburn relies on careful distillation to achieve its lighter, cleaner, and more elegant character. The artwork highlights the traditional equipment at the heart of Springbank’s production. |
| The Casks | Dunnage warehouse maturation | This illustration features oak casks resting in Springbank’s traditional dunnage warehouses. It represents the maturation stage, where the spirit develops depth, texture, and complexity over time. The image reflects the quiet importance of cask ageing in shaping the final character of the whisky. |
| The Maltings | Traditional floor maltings | This label illustrates Springbank’s floor maltings, one of the most traditional and labor-intensive parts of the distillery’s process. It celebrates Springbank’s rare practice of malting barley on site, reinforcing the set’s connection to the distillery’s heritage and craftsmanship. |
The three artworks make the First Edition especially appealing to collectors, as the set functions both as a landmark Hazelburn bottling and as a miniature visual narrative of Springbank’s production cycle. Rather than presenting a single standard label design, the trio captures the distillery’s identity through craft, process, and place, making the release a particularly meaningful piece of modern Campbeltown whisky history.
