Wolfburn 8 Year Old Northland 70cl Whisky
Wolfburn 8 Year Old Northland
Becoming Scotland's northernmost mainland whisky producing distillery when it released its first single malt in March 2016, Wolfburn is built just 350m away from the ruins of the 19th century distillery from which it takes its name. With long fermentation, slow manual distillation and maturation taking place at least partly in quarter casks that previously held peated whisky from Islay, this is a release we've eagerly anticipated!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Orchard fruits, apple pie, a fresh maltiness, almonds, magnolia and a suggestion of smoke
Palate
Honey Nut Clusters breakfast cereal, sweet spices, chocolate croissant, more honey towards the end, and a subtle earthy peatiness.
Finish
Long and fresh, with even more rich honey notes
Overall
A deliciously complex single malt from one of Scotland’s newer distilleries - they are hitting it out of the park!
