Wolfburn In 2011, the founders of Wolfburn Single Malt Whisky travelled to Thurso in Caithness, the most northerly town on the British mainland, in search of the old Wolfburn Distillery, originally founded in 1821. After 150 years of neglect, what they found of what was once one of the largest whisky producers in the country, was a pile of old stones. The only thing that remained was the flow of water that once fed the mash tun and stills all those years ago. The team were convinced that if the water was still there, then the whisky could be too. In May 2012, the purchase of the land was finalised. By January 2013 the new Wolfburn Distillery was complete and on Burns Night, a cask of Wolfburn Whisky - the first for nearly 150 years - was laid down in Thurso. Tasting Notes: On the nose you'll find fruit and malty aromas with just a hint of peat. On the tongue, sweet and nutty flavours are present which coat the palate to leave a very pleasant flavour of smoke.
