A late 2016 release from the Wolfburn distillery, matured in a combination of casks - 40% of this whisky was aged in second-fill quarter casks, 40% in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels and 20% in first-fill Oloroso Sherry hogsheads. An exciting release from the distillery.
Almonds and pecans, with a wave of sweet, sticky Sherry notes.
Raisins, currants, more mixed nuts and fresh barley.
Lingering Sherried spice on the finish.
Glad I've tried this whisky. Extremely young, all I get on the nose is cereal but I agree with the MoM pro's regarding the pecan. Not as harsh on the pallet and the finish is extremely long which I enjoy in a whisky. I'm seriously looking forward to what is produced by wolfburn in the future, especially any aged releases.
Great whiksy!
One of the best non-age statement whiskies I've tried. Beautiful sweet nose, balanced palate with honey/almond/vanilla tones over the sherry-cask sweetness, then a rounded and lingering finish. Difficult to fault in any way. Well done Wolfburn!
What a wonderful find. More of what I like from there first expression in this deeper, richer and satisfying expression. Highly recommended and both bottles I have from Wolfburn are becoming my 'go to' whisky. They are definitely on to something up there!
Tried this on a whim as I had heard so much about the young whisky that was making waves. Wow and worth the punt. Yes it's young but you can taste what this is going to be and already is in the complexity and the nose. Nice that the guys are non chill filtering or colouring and releasing it this way and even at this age and at 46% you think otherwise. Great whisky, great things to come and already happening. Would have loved to tried the three year before it became four.
