House of Hazelwood, The Old Ways
The Old Ways formed part of House of Hazelwood’s 2024 Charles Gordon Collection and was distilled in 1972 at Girvan during a fully manual production era. This 50-year-old single grain whisky reflects older production methods and raw material choices, including American red corn. Long ageing has softened the spirit while preserving texture and depth, resulting in a composed, layered whisky that balances sweetness, structure and historical character without overt cask dominance.
