The story
The name Hazelburn recalls a historic Campbeltown distillery active between the 19th and 20th centuries. The current Hazelburn was first produced at Springbank Distillery in 1997 and the first commercial bottlings of the brand appeared in the 2000s. It is offered as a distinct line alongside the parent company's other labels (Springbank and Longrow).
Production philosophy
To present a light, fruity and unpeated single malt style that conveys the character of Campbeltown through triple distillation and the use of different types of casks for maturation, while valuing traditional production methods.
Territory

Distillation

Ageing
Maturation in wooden casks; expressions may be matured or finished in ex-bourbon casks or in sherry casks/finishes (e.g. Oloroso/Sherrywood) depending on the label.
