A Limited-Edition Whisky with Luxurious Depth
The Wolfburn Distillery, located near Thurso in northern Scotland, continues to push the boundaries of whisky craftsmanship with its latest release: the Wolfburn Cognac Cask Finished Single Malt. This exclusive whisky began its maturation in First-Fill Bourbon casks in 2017 before spending its final six months in hand-selected Cognac casks made from French Limousin oak. The result? A rich and indulgent dram that Wolfburn describes as “a symphony of luxurious flavors.”
Design & Presentation
Bottled at 46% ABV, the whisky is presented in a sleek, elegant design that mirrors the brand’s commitment to quality. The label highlights its Cognac cask finish, signaling its unique character and appeal to collectors and connoisseurs alike.
Maturation & Flavor Profile
The six-month finishing period in Cognac casks lends the whisky a distinctive profile, balancing honeyed sweetness, warming spices, and a seductive finish. The influence of French Limousin oak brings a smooth texture and layered complexity, enhancing its depth.
Tasting Notes
