A Trail Of Smoke 42 Year Old – House of Hazelwood Legacy Collection

A Trail Of Smoke 42 Year Old from the House of Hazelwood Legacy Collection is a rare, ultra-premium single malt Scotch whisky, representing the pinnacle of craftsmanship, patience, and heritage. With over four decades of careful maturation, this expression delivers an unparalleled depth, complexity, and refinement for the most discerning whisky collectors and connoisseurs.

This 42-year-old whisky captures the smoky essence of Islay malts, combined with the elegance of long cask maturation. Every bottle tells a story of generations of master blenders, with hand-selected casks chosen for their flavor, balance, and aromatic richness. The result is a whisky that is bold yet sophisticated, offering layers of peat smoke, rich malt, subtle oak, and delicate spices, all woven into a luxurious, lingering finish.

On the nose, expect vivid peat smoke, dried fruits, vanilla, oak, and a hint of maritime brine, reflecting the complexity developed over four decades in oak casks. The palate is sumptuously layered, with honeyed malt, dark chocolate, gentle spice, soft smoke, and a long, warming finish. Every sip is a journey through history, craftsmanship, and the art of whisky-making.

This expression is perfect for collectors, special occasion gifting, whisky masterclasses, and high-end tastings. Its exquisite balance, complexity, and rarity make it a timeless investment for enthusiasts seeking the ultimate Islay experience.
