Hazelburn 9 Year Old Barolo Producer Tasting Notes
Nose: The dram begins with perfume and confectionary, then the essence of sugared almonds is revealed, complimented by the sweetness of sherbet.
Taste: Peppery with light tannins and the sweetness is continued with dry fruits and the subtle hint of coconut shavings.
Finish: Sugary, with dark chocolate guiding us throughout the pineapple custard combined with vanilla.
