Produced in collaboration with whisky writer, Dave Broom, the House of Hazelwood is delighted to present a brand-new feature length whisky film titled: The Accelerator and The Brake.
Join Dave Broom as he takes a trip to Hazelwood House, the ancestral home of the Gordon Family, to discover the stories, people and events which led to the culmination of the greatest inventory of rare and aged Scotch Whisky in the world.
Every week, we’ll release a new short chapter of the film, documenting Dave Broom’s journey through Speyside as he delves into the lives of Charles and Sandy Gordon – two pioneers who were instrumental in shaping the whisky industry across the late 20th century – affectionately dubbed “The Accelerator and The Brake”.
From bicycles welded to column stills, to a rare glimpse and insight into what it was like to work alongside the brothers from those with over half a century of experience, it is a screening that the connoisseur simply cannot afford to miss.
