House of Hazelwood, Sunshine on Speyside, 39 Year Old 42.5%

Blended Malt | Limited Edition | Speyside | 42.5% | 70cl

Remarkable by virtue of its character, this astonishingly bright, beautifully aged Speyside Malt carries with it compelling notes of fresh pineapple, charred fruit, and old-fashioned sweet shops.

Distilled in the early 1980s, in the era of brightly coloured, tropical flavoured cocktails it is perhaps only natural that this Speyside malt has taken on notes of pineapple and mango throughout its time in cask. The emergence of flavours such as this is unusual, inexplicable and reminds us of the magical process that takes place between cask and spirit over time. Only 398 bottles are available worldwide.

Matured in a combination of first and refill sherry casks, bottled at natural cask strength, free from added colour, and is non-chill filtered.

Tasting notes

NOSE: Astonishingly bright on the nose with notes of fresh pineapple, barbecued fruit and a delicious Victorian sweet shop character.

PALATE: On the palate, the tropical theme continues with delicious, charred fruit sweetness alongside a creamy caramelised barbecue smoke and bright zesty citrus. A true one-of-a-kind.
