WOLFBURN NORTHLAND SCOTCH SINGLE MALT HIGHLAND 92PF 750ML

Wolfburn Northland is the first modern release from this distillery, which rose from the ashes in August, 2012 after having been closed after intermittent stops and starts that finally sputtered out in the mid 1800s. Now owned by Aurora Brewing Co., this Highland malt spirit comes alive again with this youngin', aged predominately in ex-bourbon casks with a smaller portion aged in ex-sherry. Fun fact: Located in Caithness, Wolfburn is officially Scotland's most northerly distillery on the mainland, which takes its name from the local water source. TASTING NOTES 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.
