This bottling of a Wolfburn is the first of a series called Kylver (after the Kylver stone, which shows a complete runic alphabet), for which special casks are selected that stand out for their peculiarities during maturation. The bottling was produced for the Caithness Viking Festival in July 2016 to support it.
Wolfburn is the most northerly mainland distillery in Scotland. Its foundation by William Smith dates back to 1821. However, production ceased in 1850 and by 1872 all that was left of the former distillery was a ruin. Since 2011, work has been underway to bring the old distillery back to life. Distillation began in January 2013 and the first single malt was sold in spring 2016.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
