This bottling of a Wolfburn, with no age statement and presented as an original distillery bottling, was produced as Small Batch No. 458. The whisky is lightly peated, matured in first-fill ex-bourbon casks and ex-Pedro Ximénez sherry butts, and was bottled in 2022 in a run of 5,100 bottles.
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.
