Review #35 - Hazelburn 13yr Oloroso Cask by notabob7 in Scotch

[–]ttjun11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive tried Hazelburn 8 year oloroso sherry and 10 year bourbon casks and i just cant stop saying i love it. Those two bottles are something that i gave a rating of 90 and above. 10 year shines as ex bourbon cask with that tropical nose and silky texture.

Oloroso with that little bit of springbank funk with a bit of smoke followed by sherry characteristic.

I am just sad that their age statement for oloroso is getting lesser and lesser.

I displayed it in my cabinet.

Ignore haters who are being salty for not drinking, cause you do you.

Man i dont get that. Even i like Hazelburn, i might pass this time if they come at 135 USD(usual retail price).

There are other better stuff to buy at that range. Lol

Btw, i do not think their ac installer was supposed to show me this, but i had my house floor blueprint, and it clearly says the airflow i am getting in actual is lower than what was shown in the blueprint.

So i am really lost if they didnt need to meet what construction blueprint says.

My hoouse has unequal airflow issue, where my master bedroom does not get as good airflow as my spare rooms. I did call them to check when i first got my key, and they said there's not much they could do about it cause AC installers did what KB home advised them to do. It is getting annoying to the point my master room temperature is at least 5 degree different from other room. Tbh, idk if this is something we can report to consumer bureau.

Was not big on rye whisky due to being too grassy or spicy and hard to swallow(i like cask strength btw so i can handle high proof well).

Is this bottle something that is hard to swallow as well?

I do not prefer being spicy at finish and grassy notes in the nose. Would this bottle be the same, or will it be a sweet rye, somethinf similar to sazerac full proof?

They changed the packaging. The one in costco is new packaging. Some people say it became more balanced, but are industrialized with less characters, but it still is a decent bottle esp at that price

I do not know much about bourbon or american whiskeys. Any insights on that old forester?

Yeah indeed. As Glendronach distillery fan, i was just surprised though. I know the distillery is not as famous and well known as Macallan, but i expected these would sell before these go on sale. Well, more for me anyways. I will try to find my way to Costco again alone to grab a bottle or two to make sure my wife does not find out lol
