A Breath of Fresh Air
Queen of the Hebrides
Queen of the Hebrides
"Queen of the Hebrides (7/10) plugs an Islay-shaped gap in the collection, bringing in those classic coastal flavors with a well-balanced 33-year-old whisky."
Alex Martin
The Finer Details
While the House of Hazelwood inventory spans every corner of Scotland, perhaps the rarest stocks within our collection are those traded malts from the isle of Islay – known as the Queen of the Hebrides. This rich, savoury, phenolic Blended Malt embodies the character of the island itself, matured to great age in American oak to deliver a wonderfully satisfying mouthfeel, with light tannins and a long finish.
Nose
Bonfires burn and smoulder on the nose of this Islay malt. The phenolic, charcoal quality is softened by the presence of yuzu citrus, transforming creosote into bacon in a puff of smoke.
Palate
The smoke character develops on the palate, offering up notes of cigar smoke and lightly singed tree bark. Chew your way through the finish on fresh tobacco leaves.
