Tribute to the Spey: House of Hazelwood 1992 Calm Waters

House of Hazelwood 1992 Calm Waters delivers a refined expression from the Grant family’s private cask collection. This limited run of 297 bottles celebrates the River Spey with a vintage blended malt from 1992, bottled at a potent 52.1% ABV. Crafted exclusively from first fill and refill sherry butts, it offers collectors and enthusiasts a richly complex Speyside character.

Maturation & Flavor Profile

The whisky's maturation in sherry casks imparts considerable weight and depth. The influence of both first fill and refill sherry butts brings an indulgent intensity, wrapped in a full-bodied mouthfeel and balanced by a naturally complex herbal element. This results in a finish described as “as long as the Spey itself,” underscoring the release’s premium pedigree.

An homage in liquid form to one of Scotland’s most iconic rivers.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich and aromatic, featuring treacle toffee, licorice, and a complex herbal blend with fennel and linseed
• Palate: Full-bodied and indulgent with depth and weight, leading into an intense character
• Finish: Exceptionally long and lingering
