Wolfburn 416 Small Batch

Wolfburn 416 Small Batch 10-year-old single malt Scotch whisky is bottled at 46% vol. It is fully matured in first-fill ruby port pipes sourced from a vineyard in Portugal’s Douro Valley, one of the world’s oldest protected wine regions. It is the first age-stated expression in the Wolfburn Small Batch Series. Just 3,900 bottles produced, no second run. If you’re looking for a limited-edition port-cask Scotch whisky that genuinely earns every word of its description, this is it

Although still a young distillery, Wolfburn was first established in 1821 in Thurso, on Scotland’s far north coast.

Production ceased in 1850s, with Wolfburn’s new distillery started in 2012 very close the old site. With production starting in 2013, their inaugural expression was released in February 2016.

They continue to make their whisky the same way it was always made: by hand, using only the finest ingredients, and without haste. Wolfburn’s whisky is distilled, matured and bottled on-site.

• Nose: Warm ruby port aromas drift alongside a delicate whisper of sea salt. Dried fruits slowly emerge – raisins, dark cherries and sultanas, in a deeply vinous embrace that hints at the extraordinary casks at work.
• Palate: Luscious caramel and smooth vanilla arrive first, underpinned by beautiful wine-soaked flavours. Darker notes follow, gentle oak smoke and the rich sweetness of dates and figs with a supple, full-bodied texture and outstanding depth of flavour.
• Finish: Long and warming. Caramel and dried fruits linger with quiet confidence, while those signature ruby port notes weave through to the very end. 

ABV: 46%
