House of Hazelwood The Legacy Collection 42 year old A Trail of Smoke, 46.5%

Golden syrup, vanilla buttercream, peppery smoke, and seasoned oak aromas shift through different smoky phases, from smoked fish, then earthy peat smoke, to charred driftwood. Rich caramel, vanilla, sherbet, tangy citrus, and grilled apricot and mango that become sweeter and juicier as it dilutes, plus icing sugar, pear, and honey before the structure begins to crumble slightly. A soft, dry finish, where the smoke has the last word. (385 bottles, 128 for the U.S.)
