House of Hazelwood The Charles Gordon Collection 47 year old The Garden at Hazelwood, 43.7%

Price: 7400 Issue: Spring 2025 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

Weathered oak, subtle lavender, kid leather, and powdery floral perfume. Sweet, silky, and honeyed on the tongue, with black pepper, strips of dried mango, lime, and mint sprigs, it’s complex, herbal, and increasingly more oaky with time. The texture is thick as cream, but it’s a gentle, soothing spirit. (Release date: 3/25; 137 bottles worldwide)
