Description
The most northerly distillery on the Scottish mainland has turned out something rather lovely here. Initially matured in first-fill bourbon casks in 2017, this 8-year-old whisky spent its final six months finishing in fresh Cognac casks made from top-tier French oak from Limousin.
A Wolfburn single malt Scotch whisky that will appeal to fans of the elegant French brandy, this is a limited release of just 3,900 bottles that showcase a refined, delicate Cognac influence – subtle sweetness, rich depth, and a whisper of fruit. It was bottled at 46% ABV, natural colour, and non-chill filtered – just as it should be.
Tasting Note by The Producer
Nose
Hints of dried fruits mix with sweet port notes. This is followed by aromas of vanilla, with just a hint of coffee and dark chocolate.
Palate
A symphony of luxurious flavours. Dried apricots and almonds are overlaid with vanilla, accompanied by subtle hints of warm spice. Wait a while and barley sugar makes itself known, along with soft dark chocolate. Truly this is a decadent dram.
Finish
It’s oh-so-sweet, with vanilla and autumn fruits gently fading away, leaving just a trace of caramel and sea salt at the very end.
