Product & Production
Whisky production: Every bottle is monitored from distillation to its final filling and dispatch, ensuring exceptional consistency and quality of taste.
Non-chill filtered and a natural colour: Bottled without chill-filtration or artificial colouring, preserving the whisky’s true character.
Matured on site: Every cask is matured in Wolfburn’s traditional style dunnage warehouses set by the sea.
Traditional craftsmanship: Whisky made by hand, using age-old methods and modern precision.
Natural Ingredients
Water: Drawn from the Wolf burn, rising from a spring a short distance away, crystal-clear and naturally filtered through Caithness stone.
Malt: Premium, sustainably sourced malt from UK growers. A non-GM and non-GN (Glycosidic Nitrile) variety.
Yeast: Single yeast strain, bottom-fermented to bring out rich, fruity tones.
Fermentation: Long and unhurried – promoting deep, layered flavours before distillation.
