Description
Wolfburn Morven Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 46% Age: No Age Statement Country: Scotland
The Wolfburn Distillery has reawakened the spirit of Scotland’s rugged north shore, crafting whisky like it was made over a hundred years ago. Spirit produced by craftsmen made by hand, using only the finest ingredients and without haste. Situated in Thurso in the Highland whisky region of Scotland this distillery was originally first producing spirit in 1821 where it was named Wolfburn after the watercourse it drew from. Now most would relate ‘burn’ to something hot but in Scotland the word ‘burn’ relates to a small stream or small river.
In 2011 the old distillery site was found and more research was carried out to help create a new distillery in Thurso. Purchase of land and plans were completed in May 2012 and before long on January 25th 2013 the distillery started to produce new spirit. This spirit was the first since there was a reward of $16,000 for Ned Kelly – Dead or alive. The Wolfburn motif is taken from a drawing by Konrad Gesner who was a 16th century linguist and zoologist. It was said that the wolf was a common sight in the far north of Scotland and on the coast it was said to have a supernatural relative – the sea-wolf. According to the lore of the time the sea-wolf ‘liveth both on land and sea’ and would give good luck to anyone fortunate to see it. We recommend trying the whisky from this distillery at such a young age and following its path as it forms a new life.
Northland is the first and ongoing release from Wolfburn distillery. The smooth and warming flavours 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.
Our Tasting Notes
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.
Taste: Sweet, nutty tones come to the fore, with hints of grapes and honey in the background. Floral flavours abound, enhanced with just a hint of dried fruit and spice.
Finish: Long and fresh, with honey notes.
