Nose: Very subtle, with prominent walnuts and grains, but also cooked pears. Palate: Very oily and coats the tongue, but beyond its texture, it's quite bland and lacks character. Toffee, nuts, cream, and not much else. Finish: Brief but well-rounded. It's not unpleasant, but it's akin to consuming a lightly alcoholic void. It might suit those who aren't enthusiasts, as it's very easy to drink, but dedicated whisky lovers might not find its qualities particularly appealing. Rating 3.00

About this bottle
The youngest offering in William Grant's House of Hazelwood blended Scotch whisky range, this expression is influenced by Janet Sheed Roberts (1901-2012), a Grant family member associated with the House of Hazelwood, an Art Deco residence near Glenfiddich Distillery. Whiskies from Kininvie and Girvan are blended and matured in Portuguese oak tuns. The packaging for all House of Hazelwood whiskies reflects Art Deco design, with the 18-year-old inspired by 1920s Paris. It is sold in 500ml bottles.

A light, grassy, floral aroma with a hint of cardamom. It has a buttery mouthfeel and finishes with a subtle orange chocolate flavor.
A solid, familiar choice. Fruity, vanilla notes and approachable, but not particularly memorable for me.
Aroma of apple... Finishes with a smoky flavor. Quite mellow, however.
Very smooth, with a pleasant sweet vanilla aroma and a slight bitter hint.
Appears younger than an 18-year-old.
