House of Hazelwood Reveals the 2026 Charles Gordon Collection
House of Hazelwood has announced the release of the 2026 Charles Gordon Collection.
The new collection features four whiskies: A Different World, The Silent Partner, A Fond Farewell, and An Organised Whole.
A Different World – 1977 Single Grain Scotch Whisky:
48 Years Old | 57.2% ABV | 219 bottles worldwide | UK RRSP £3,200
Tells the story of a different era when Girvan was still using maize and distilling on traditional apparatus, leading to the emergence of remarkable flavours that are no longer seen from grain whiskies today. Distilled on Girvan’s original ‘one apps’ still this remarkable Single Grain reveals a distinctive thyme character unlike anything we have ever seen before derived from an unusual off-take point. After 48 years in a first-fill sherry butt, its pronounced green notes have matured into an elegant, herbaceous complexity that is as unexpected as it is rewarding.
The Silent Partner – 47 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky:
46.7% ABV | 228 bottles worldwide | UK RRSP £3,300
The first peated Blended Scotch offered by House of Hazelwood, this blend showcases a subtle mastery, by combining sweet Lowland grain whisky with Highland malts matured in American and European oak. A whisper of peat from a Highland distillery still using traditional methods in the 1970s lends lingering depth and intrigue, with the smoke used almost as a seasoning by the blending team.
A Fond Farewell – 46 Year Old Blended Malt Scotch Whisky:
43.8% ABV | 252 bottles worldwide | UK RRSP £4,000
Drawn exclusively from the family’s rare ‘Hogmanay casks’ — filled each New Year’s Eve in the 1970s to mark the passing of the year — this whisky offers a richly spiced, warming profile that beautifully encapsulates the passing of time and the spirit of celebration. The tradition of filling casks on Hogmanay has now sadly ceased, making this release not only a remarkable liquid but also a memory of past ways of working.
An Organised Whole – 45 Year Old Blended Malt Whisky:
47.3% ABV | 267 bottles worldwide | UK RRSP £3,200
Crafted from varying Highland distillery profiles and matured in both hogsheads and sherry butts, this malt is a showcase for the layers of complexity that can be delivered through the artistry of blending. It delivers an interplay of rich sherried depth and soft American oak sweetness — a harmony that’s truly greater than the sum of its parts.
