Description
In 1821, William Smith founded the Wolfburn distillery on the outskirts of Thurso, named after a nearby watercourse. The distillery, built from sturdy Caithness stone slabs, quickly developed into a major malt whisky producer. The distillery remained in the family until the 1850s and may have operated sporadically until the 1860s, although it was recorded as a ruin on a map in 1872. A new building was erected near the old site.
The distillery's logo, designed in 2011, is based on a 16th century drawing by Conrad Gessner and refers to the sea wolf, a local legend said to bring good luck. The logo symbolizes the distillery's deep connection to Scottish culture and history.
Wolfburn VIBRANT STILLS is matured for eight years in selected fresh bourbon barrels, which give the whisky intense aromas and flavors during this time. This whisky not only represents the renaissance of a distillery steeped in tradition, but also the craftsmanship and passion that go into its production.
The edition is limited to 1,500 bottles. (automated translation)
