The Wolfburn 12 Years Old is the new flagship of the Wolfburn range and is also impressive proof of the master craftsmanship of Scotland's northernmost mainland distillery. This premium single malt Scotch whisky comes from the small, independent Wolfburn Distillery in Thurso, situated on the windswept north coast of the Northern Highlands.
This single malt was matured in equal parts in ex-bourbon casks and second-fill Oloroso sherry butts - both casks carefully selected to create a perfect balance between fruit, spice, sweetness and subtle smokiness. The whisky was matured for a full twelve years in traditional Dunnage warehouses, giving it a particularly deep, multi-layered aroma and a velvety mouthfeel.
With an alcohol content of 46% vol., non-chill-filtered and bottled in its natural color, Wolfburn 12 Year Old impresses with its handcrafted authenticity and honest Highland character.
