House of Hazelwood The Charles Gordon Collection 58 year old The Last Trace, 43.1%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2025 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Blended Malt Scotch Whisky
Blended from casks where evaporation has taken nearly everything, the nose revels in aromas of crème caramel, toasted coconut, and a dollop of treacle, showcasing dates, black truffle, rancio, black cherry, dark chocolate, charred oak, and leather. Peppermint, caramel, and generous fruit, with marmalade, stewed apple, cranberry, and sour gummies on the palate. The texture thickens and becomes creamier, coalescing around baked orange and fruit tea, fading incrementally over time. (Release date: 3/25; 65 bottles worldwide)
