Wolfburn - Cognac Cask Matured Highland Single Malt 8 year old Whisky

This limited release whisky was initially laid down in first-fill bourbon casks in 2017 and transferred into cognac casks for the last six months of maturation. The subtle hints of cognac they once contained have infused beautifully into the spirit, lending it a remarkable sweetness and depth of flavour.

Nose: Hints of dried fruits mix with sweet port notes. This is followed by aromas of vanilla, with just a hint of coffee and dark chocolate.

Palate: A symphony of luxurious flavours. Dried apricots and almonds are overlaid with vanilla, accompanied by subtle hints of warm spice. Wait a while and barley sugar makes itself known, along with soft dark chocolate. Truly this is a decadent dram.

Finish: It’s oh-so-sweet, with vanilla and autumn fruits gently fading away, leaving just a trace of caramel and sea salt at the very end.
