Wolfburn Aurora (700 mL)

Wolfburn is the most Northerly distillery on the Scottish mainland. Originally founded in 1821, all of Wolfburn’s Single Malt whiskies are made the traditional way: without haste, by hand, and with a huge emphasis on quality. The results are superb, and Wolfburn’s special releases are consistent winners of international spirits competitions.

Wolfburn’s smooth and easy-drinking character stems from the way it is made. Long fermentation is followed by slow and gentle distillation to makes a pure, smooth spirit. Maturation takes place in purpose-built warehouses just a short distance from the sea.

This beautiful sherried whisky is made from unpeated spirit laid down in a combination of 2/3 1st and 2nd Fill Bourbon and 1/3 1st Fill Oloroso Sherry casks. Benefiting from long fermentation and slow, gentle distillation, the spirit is laid down on-site in our purpose-built warehouses. At the end of the maturation process, the casks are brought together to create an exceptionally smooth and perfectly balanced dram.

In the 700 ml bottle the recipe changes slightly and unpeated spirit laid down in a 50/50 combination of 1st and 2nd Fill Bourbon and 1st Fill Oloroso Sherry casks.

Bottled at 46% abv.

ON THE NOSE
Sherry sweetness is followed by aromas of freshly cut grass and Autumn fruits; with just a hint of coffee and dark chocolate.

ON THE PALATE
Floral tones come to the fore, with overtones of spice and vanilla. Fruity sweetness coats the palate, with fruit and nut flavors leading to a warm, soft finish.

FINISH
The finish lingers gently; Sherry tones are present to the very end. Beautiful.
