Wolfburn Lightly Peated Cask Strength 7 Year Old 2022
Wolfburn Lightly Peated Cask Strength 7 Year Old is a bold and richly rewarding limited release from Scotland's northernmost mainland distillery, crafted from lightly peated spirit matured in a hand-selected combination of Oloroso sherry butts and ex-bourbon quarter casks.

A thoroughly exceptional dram. Why You'll Love It This is Wolfburn at its most concentrated and expressive. The pairing of Oloroso sherry butts and ex-bourbon quarter casks has done an astonishing job of producing a smooth and rounded whisky in just seven years, with the smaller quarter cask format accelerating maturation and adding an extra layer of oak integration. Bottled at cask strength without chill filtration, every nuance of the sherry richness, bourbon sweetness, and gentle peat smoke is preserved exactly as intended. Sweet, complex, and deeply satisfying, this is a bottle that punches well above its age.

This 2022 release is crafted from lightly peated spirit matured in a hand-selected combination of Oloroso sherry butts and ex-bourbon quarter casks, bottled at natural cask strength of 58.2% ABV without chill filtration. Tasting Notes The nose is sweet and aromatic, with Oloroso sherry richness, soft bourbon vanilla, and a gentle waft of peat smoke. On the palate, it is smooth and rounded for its cask strength, with layers of dark fruit, toffee, and warming spice from the sherry casks, underpinned by a soft, lingering peat smoke from the lightly peated spirit. The finish is long and satisfying, with the sherry sweetness and gentle smoke fading gracefully. Best enjoyed neat
