Description

Situated on Scotland's rugged north coast, the Wolfburn distillery was first established in 1821, rapidly becoming the largest distillery in the Caithness area. The purchase of the land was finalised in May 2012 and the first ground was broken on the new site just a few months later. The new Wolfburn distillery building is just a short walk along the burn from the old site towards the sea. This is the fourth edition in Wolfburn's limited Kylver series, with each release brandishing a different letter from the runic alphabet, found on the Kylver stone which the series is named after. The symbol on this bottle is called “Ansuz”. This is the first peated Kylver release, and also the first to be presented in a dark green bottle. The whisky was matured for around four years in a combination of first-fill bourbon barrels and second-fill quarter casks.
