Wolfburn Small Batch Release No 458 Single Malt Whisky
Wolfburn Small Batch Release No. 458 is the seventh small batch release from Scotland's northernmost mainland distillery, crafted from a precisely equal marriage of two exceptional cask types. A 50/50 split of 7-year-old spirit matured in first-fill Pedro Ximenez sherry butts and lightly peated spirit matured in first-fill bourbon barrels, it is bottled at natural cask strength of 64% ABV without chill filtration. Just 5,100 bottles were produced, making this a genuinely rare and collectable expression. Why You'll Love It Wolfburn's Small Batch series represents the distillery at its most experimental and expressive, and No. 458 is a particularly compelling release. The marriage of first-fill PX sherry and first-fill bourbon casks produces a profile of extraordinary complexity, with rich dark fruit, coffee, and treacle from the sherry side meeting hazelnut, almond, and a gentle thread of peat smoke from the bourbon and lightly peated spirit. Bottled at cask strength without chill filtration, every nuance of the maturation is preserved exactly as intended. With only 5,100 bottles in existence, this is a whisky to seek out and savour. Distillery & Maturation Wolfburn Distillery was established in 2013 in Thurso, Caithness, on the site of the original Wolfburn Distillery that operated in the 1820s, making it Scotland's northernmost mainland distillery. Small Batch No. 458 is a marriage of two distinct parcels: 7-year-old spirit matured in first-fill Pedro Ximenez sherry butts, and lightly peated spirit matured in first-fill bourbon barrels, combined in equal measure. Bottled at natural cask strength of 64% ABV without chill filtration. 5,100 bottles produced. Tasting Notes The nose opens with aromas of treacle and coffee leading the way to cherry and dried spice. On the palate, it begins with hazelnut, almonds, and cloves, giving way to a soft peat smoke that weaves through the rich, dark fruit character from the PX sherry casks.
