Wolfburn
Another ace whisky from the Wolfburn distillery way up in the north of Scotland. Langskip is matured exclusively in first-fill bourbon casks and is bottled at a generous 58% ABV, making it a particularly powerfully flavoursome dram. Impressive as ever from Wolfburn.
Fantastic - no other way to describe it.Did a tasting with family, 5 people rated it as following: 9.5, 9, 9, 8.5 and 8 (avg 8.8). Very smooth neat despite ABV, but opens up with a teaspoon of water. Another teaspon of water works as well. Sweet on the nose with caramel and fruit. Instant sweetness on the palate, sort of like honey-coated almonds. Strong finish, not unpleasant, but it will remind you it means business. Definitely no smoke and 0.5 rating is simply unfair. Great whisky!
My 1st Wolfburn purchase. Great to drink neat & also 4or5 drops of water. Open the drink up. It will be a good winter bedtime nightcap
This is more of a question than a review. Does anyone else smell and taste smoke on the Wolfburn Langskip? On no reviews or tasting notes does anyone mention peat, phenols, tcp or smoke. But I definitely taste it on this bottle. Just in case my sense of smell was impaired by a recent cold I had the presence of smoke confirmed by family. I avoid peaty whiskies because I feel they overwhelm the more subtle interesting flavours. Is there a quality control problem at whatever bottling facility used by Wolfburn? Have they bottled Morven instead of Langskip? I was very disappointed because all the tasting notes would indicate this whisky might have hit my sweet spot.
Outstanding in every respect. Its not for sharing, it all mine.................... Kev Doncaster
Bought as a birthday present for someone that appreciates the finer things in life. I had already purchased for myself so knew this would not disappoint.
