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!
Orchard fruits, apple pie, a fresh maltiness, almonds, magnolia and a suggestion of smoke
Honey Nut Clusters breakfast cereal, sweet spices, chocolate croissant, more honey towards the end, and a subtle earthy peatiness.
Long and fresh, with even more rich honey notes
A deliciously complex single malt from one of Scotland’s newer distilleries - they are hitting it out of the park!
What a Nice, sweet and harmonic dram This is. I bought This the day it was released in Holland. To be honest, more because of the fact that is was a brand new mark and that I love wolfs. I was surprises by its gorgeous taste and pretty long finish. It is oily, buttery, fruity (fresh!) and a bit spicy and hints of smoke. Tastes far more matured than it in fact is. Will buy another bottle if This one is empty, if there is any left in the shops.
Both Scapa and Highland Park are further north, with the latter being Scotland's northernmost distillery. Dr J
