The smooth and warming flavors present in Northland come from the unhurried way in which the spirit is made, and from the maturation, which takes place in American Oak quarter casks. Matured and bottled on site, Northland represents the first chapter in the history of Wolfburn.
ON THE NOSE
Initially sweet with notes of fruit and fresh sea air.In the background you’ll find citrus freshness and hints of cereal, and just a trace of peat smoke.
ON THE PALATE
Sweet, nutty tones come to the fore, with hints of grapes and honey in the background. Floral flavors abound, enhanced with just a hint of dried fruit and spice.
FINISH
Soft sweet tones fade gradually away, overlaid with a just a trace of gentle peat smoke at the very end.
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.
