Product details
House of Hazelwood, a distinguished brand within the William Grant & Sons portfolio, draws upon the rich legacy of the Gordon family, renowned for their pivotal role in the establishment of Girvan Grain. Launched in 2022, the brand is named after Hazelwood House, the family's historic residence. The Silk Traveller, a 44-year-old single grain expression, is part of the Charles Gordon Collection, which showcases rare, aged creations matured over four decades. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this release is limited to just 212 bottles, each a testament to the family's commitment to preserving and sharing exceptional cask selections from their private reserves.
Upon nosing, The Silk Traveller unveils a tapestry of aromas reminiscent of bustling bazaars, with vibrant notes of dried spices and anise, evoking the ancient Silk Road's aromatic allure. The palate offers a complex journey, beginning with the earthy richness of freshly tanned leather, transitioning into the sweet yet astringent presence of root. This intricate flavor profile is complemented by subtle hints of plum jam, dates, and a whisper of vanilla pod, creating a harmonious and indulgent experience. The finish is long and satisfying, marked by gentle woody spices and a lingering warmth, making it an ideal companion to indulgent desserts.
