House of Hazelwood
House of Hazelwood is a brand of art deco-inspired blended Scotch whisky, owned and produced by William Grant & Sons. The whisky is made with spirit produced at Girvan grain distillery, Kininvie malt distillery and spirit from the Grant family's private collection.
The House of Hazelwood range was created as a tribute to William Grant's granddaughter, Janet Sheed Roberts, who died in April 2012 when she was the oldest person in Scotland. She was a director of William Grant & Sons and an influential character within the company. Previous blends have been created under the Hazelwood name to commemorate her 100th and 110th birthdays.
The brand's name is taken from that of Roberts' home, Hazelwood House, the dower house of Kininvie Castle.Variants
