This year's Anniversary bottling is a lightly-peated whisky is made from malted barley infused with peat smoke during the kilning process. The flavour imparted by the burning of peat is a reflection of Wolfburn’s history – the original 19th Century distillery was largely fired by local peat dug, by hand, from the Caithness land. Gentle distillation is followed by maturation in our purpose-built warehouses. The result is a beautifully smooth and rounded whisky. The cask used, selected by Distillery Manager Iain Kerr, is a single second-fill Oloroso sherry butt matured in warehouse No.2. A refined whisky and a reflection of the passion and excellence for which Wolfburn is renowned. A shade over 8 years old, it is a smooth and rounded dram, full of vibrancy and vigour – a fitting whisky to mark another year and another milestone. TASTING NOTES ON THE NOSE – Sweet autumn fruits mingle with heather, augmented by a hint of peat smoke. There’s a gentle nuttiness too, mingled with sweet tones redolent of demerara sugar and marzipan. ON THE PALATE – Allow it time to unfold and this dram has huge body. Floral notes abound and are accompanied by vanilla and light spices. There’s a creamy sweetness too, with suggestions of caramel and butterscotch. FINISH – Residual sweetness is accompanied by a tang of peat smoke to provide a spectacularly long, lingering finish.
