In light of their 200th anniversary, 1821 sequentially numbered bottles have been created from a selection of Wolfburn's finest casks: first-fill Oloroso sherry hogsheads, with a special addition of whisky from their very first cask, filled back in January 2013. On the nose we get figs and apricots mixed with soft oaky aromas. Honey-laced porridge meets stewed apples and sultanas on the palate while Wolfburn’s trademark heat comes to the forefront. Finally, dried fruit and caramel remains and is complimented with hints of lingering oak smoke.

Batch 458 from Wolfburn was created from a 50/50 combination of two cask types: whisky matured in ex-Pedro Ximenez sherry casks married with lightly peated whisky that matured in first-fill ex-bourbon casks. A rich, sticky tone of treacle and coffee join dry spices on the aroma, carrying over to a more nutty and clove-spiced flavour to taste. An integrated peat smoke sits behind treacle, lingering on the finish. Just 5,100 bottles are available world-wide.

Wolfburn's limited-edition Christmas 2022 release sees lightly peated spirit matured in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels and second-fill quarter casks, matured for over seven years. A fresh, dry sea-air note starts the aroma, with heather blossom and a hint of peat smoke. On the palate, expect flashes of sultana, honey and treacle - with an appropriate note of Christmas cake icing (marzipan). The soft sweetness remains, drifting away with honey and warm caramel again. A suitably festive dram available while stocks last.

To celebrate DramFest 2023, the team at Whisky Galore has partnered with the fine folk at Wolfburn distillery to bring you this special bottling. Matured in an ex-bourbon quarter-cask, it carries flavours of soft fruit, with malt biscuit and chewy hazelnut tones smothered in caramel. Autumn fruits and nutty spices flow through the finish. Bottled at cask strength and limited to just 168 bottles.

Langskip, a norse word for Longship, is the latest release from Scotland's far-north distillery, Wolfburn. This is the first high-strength whisky from the distillery, offering fruity and aromatic notes of dried apple, raisins and dates and rich fruit cake. The palate has maple syrup, dark chocolate and fruit and nut mix. A fading vanilla-sweet finish comes through in the finish. A welcome new addition to the popular Wolfburn range.

Morven is the new peated expression from the Wolfburn distillery, made from barley that has been traditionally infused with the smoke of burning peat. The smoke is soft to start, combined with aromas of fresh sea air and a fruity, floral tone that comes from Wolfburn's slow fermentation and distillation. The lightness on the nose gives way to a more full-bodied flavour on the palate, carrying a tang of smoke and spices, with a vanilla sweetness that becomes spiced and very gently peppery in the finish.

The Wolfburn distillery is one of Scotland's newest distilleries, founded in 2013 in Thurso, making it the most northerly distillery in Scotland. Wolfburn is a traditional coastal Highland style, made with unpeated malt and aged in quarter casks that formerly held peaty whisky. Softly fruity and sweet to start, with buttery, fruity (pears, ripe banana), nutty flavours that drift towards a very subtle and lingering peat smoke finish. This is a truly accomplished whisky for such a new distillery, and a taste of great things to come.

Created in support of the 1921 Poppy Pledge, a total of 1921 bottles have been produced paying a fitting tribute to Scotland’s veterans.
This unique whisky has been matured in a combination of second-fill ex-Islay quarter casks and first-fill Oloroso sherry hogsheads. On the nose we get Bourbon sweetness mixed with soft oaky tones, followed by aromas of autumn fruits and brown sugar.
Floral tones lead the way on the palate, with warm vanilla and light spices. Sumptuous and decadent, like a mouthful of Christmas cake. Finally, hints of heather honey and butterscotch melt gently away. Sweet and smooth to the very end.

Aurora is the second expression to come out of the Wolfburn distillery, founded in 2013 in the sea-side village of Thurso at the very northern edges of mainland Scotland. This new release is matured in a mixture of both American oak and ex-sherry casks, the latter bringing more nutty, orchard fruity flavours to the whisky. The malty, sea-side maritime flavour that comes from slow fermentation and oceanic maturing is there on the nose and finish. A brilliant new release from Wolfburn.
