We proudly present the first US Exclusive Single Cask from Wolfburn specially selected by ImpEx Beverages. Cask #430 was distilled in May of 2015 in Thurso. It then slumbered for 9 years in a first-fill Bourbon Barrel before being bottled exclusively for the US Market.
700 ml, 56.9% ABV
ON THE NOSE
Initially overtones of light peat smoke mix with sweet Bourbon notes. Hints of coffee and dark chocolate follow, all subtly overlaid with vanilla.
ON THE PALATE
Rich Bourbon notes come to the fore, with overtones of toffee and vanilla. Fruity sweetness coats the palate, with Autumn fruit and honey flavors giving a rich beautiful bouquet.
FINISH
The finish does not disappoint; dried fruit and vanilla flavors remain to the end and are neatly overlaid with gentle hints of lingering peat smoke.
It has been a long time coming but as Wolfburn (re)opens its doors and fires up the stills, the next generation of Wolfburn whisky is slowly getting closer. The rebuilding is done, the new spirit is being made and laid down, now we’re just left with the hard part: the waiting. Some things may have changed since the last whisky was made in Thurso but the warm welcome for visitors to the lowlands beyond the highlands hasn’e and we look forward in the future to sharing some Wolfburn with you. A wee bit of history brought back to life, a wee bit of the spirit of the north.
