about the brand

For almost one hundred years, generations of the Gordon family have carefully laid down stocks of whisky for special occasions and personal consumption. This rare collection has become known as House of Hazelwood, after the family’s Dufftown home – Hazelwood House. Today, the House of Hazelwood collection has grown to become the greatest inventory of aged Scotch whisky held anywhere in the world. Spanning seven decades and every corner of Scotland, the diverse whiskies held in cask tell stories of remarkable places, lost ways of working, first casks, last casks, the ambitions and achievements of several lifetimes – none of which will be repeated again. 

 

House of Hazelwood was launched in May 2022 and currently has two collections, one of which is dedicated to Charles Gordon who was responsible for the construction of Girvan Grain Distillery. The whiskies within the collection typically range from 35-60 years old and are priced between £950-£4,900 per bottle. The brand's name is taken from that of the Gordon family's historic home, Hazelwood House, the dower house of Kininvie Castle. House of Hazelwood is a brand of aged Scotch whisky, owned and produced by the Gordon family, owners of William Grant & Sons.  [link]
