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.
For the seventh Vibrant Stills, the Wolfburn Vibrant Stills 8 Years Old First-Fill Sauternes Casks, five fresh ex-bourbon casks from 2016 were selected, which were then allowed to mature for 6 months in first-fill Sauternes casks made from French oak.
The whisky is bottled without the use of colorants and without chill-filtration and is limited to 1,250 bottles.
