House of Hazelwood, The Garden at Hazelwood
The Garden at Hazelwood was released in the 2024 Charles Gordon Collection as a delicate counterpoint to heavier aged styles. Bottled at 47 years old, the blended malt emphasises fragrance and lightness, with floral notes and soft sweetness taking precedence over oak weight. Despite its age, the whisky remains fresh and expressive, retaining Speyside-like elegance and lift. It reflects House of Hazelwood’s ability to preserve aromatic character deep into extended maturation.
