A superb limited release from the Wolfburn distillery, all the way up in Thurso. This single malt spent seven years resting in a combo of ex-oloroso and ex-bourbon quarter casks, resulting in an exceptionally well-rounded, elegant sipper. A release of 1,840 bottles.
Buttered popcorn, oaken vanilla, and sweet, sherried fruits are followed by creamy butterscotch.
Hazelnuts and stewed, spiced fruits with syrupy sponge cake lead the way before elegant whispers of peat smoke creep in.
Chewy toffee and burnt sugar keep things sweet at the end, while the peat tails off delicately.
