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. Bottled at natural cask strength of 58.2% ABV without chill filtration, it is sweet, aromatic, and sumptuous in character, with the gentle thread of peat smoke adding an extra dimension of complexity. 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. 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. 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
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.
