Wolfburn
3rd Party Tasting Notes
On the nose, rich desert wine aromas mix with deep Bourbon sweetness. On the palate gentle hints of burnt sugar ix with soft oak and vanilla hazelnut and hints of orange are also present. The finish lingers beautifully with overtures of butterscotch and honey at the very end. A truly enjoyable expreience.

The original Wolfburn distillery was founded in 1821 near the small town of Thurso by William Smith. It operated for a few decades but closed down at some point during the 1850's. In 2012 a group of investors received planning permission to build a brand new distillery on another location in Thurso - and they decided to use the name of the (entirely unrelated) old Wolfburn distillery for their new project. The new distillery was outfitted with 1 wash still and 1 spirit still and has an annual production capacity of almost 200,000 litres. After construction was finished, Wolfburn became the most northerly distillery on the Scottish mainland, taking that title from the Old Pulteney distillery a little further to the South.
Malt whisky production at the new Wolfburn distillery started on January 25, 2013. During the first year 190,000 litres of bulk spirit were produced, filling a total of 811 casks. Wolfburn used a number of different casks, including small 120 litre quarter casks, larger 250 litre ex-bourbon hogsheads and big 500 litre Spanish sherry butts.
