House of Hazelwood 'The Tops' Scotch Whisky is a masterclass in patient craftsmanship, blending eight distilleries' finest stocks, including rare grain from the silent Dumbarton distillery. Bottled at a bold 51.6% ABV, this whisky stands out not by shouting but by its quiet, assured presence.

Built from decades-old malt and grain matured in American oak, The Tops embodies the essence of Speyside style with clarity and balance. The nose invites you in with inviting notes of baked pineapple, honeycomb, vanilla pod, and subtle floral hints, all harmoniously layered without clutter. This is whisky that breathes with confidence, expansive yet composed.

On the palate, expect a rich tapestry of ripe orchard fruits, crème brûlée, candied orange, and toasted coconut wrapped in a smooth, waxy texture. The grain whisky adds a glossy flow, while the malt brings structure and finesse. Sweetness is perfectly tempered by oak and a touch of warm spice, keeping every sip clean and focused.

The finish lingers long and articulate, revealing polished wood, cinnamon oil, clove, and dried fig, with a bright lift of citrus peel that leaves a lasting impression without rushing away.

House of Hazelwood is a family-owned independent Scotch house renowned for its ultra-aged, rare blends sourced from the Gordon family’s private cellars. The Tops is a showcase of their dedication to high-aged blending, offering a whisky that is both powerful and elegant, rich in toffee, spice, and dried fruit flavors.

This expression isn’t about flashy innovation; it’s about composure and precision, delivering a whisky that is mature, measured, and unshakably poised. The Tops is a blueprint of what patient, intentional blending can achieve when time and quality ingredients come together under a disciplined hand.
