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.

Informative and value for money

Enjoyed the tour immensely. Wilma, the guide, was knowledgeable and funny. The facility is small so the tour was personal and hands on. The samples afterwards were well worth the entry. Staff spent time with customers. Warehouse was great.

A lovely tour

A lovely tour. We were given a thorough explanation of how whisky is made and shown every stage of the production process on site. Afterwards, we were given the chance to sample the range to our heart’s content.
Unfortunately, the driver was only given a small sample and wasn’t allowed to bottle the same amount as the non-drivers, even though the same price had been paid. And the specific small sample the driver received had already been decided in advance. It would have been nicer if he’d been able to choose one himself.

Great experience, excellent whisky

On our Scotland-trip we spent some days at John O´Groats and visited the Wolfburn Distillery in Thurso. A great experience, the tour was interesting and the tasting offered some excellent whiskies. Charlie was a wonderful guide. If You are around there: don´t miss it!

Leuke en informatieve toer.

Leuke en informatieve toer, waarna een flinke proeverij volgde. Ook voor mij als niet kenner was het erg leuk. Mocht veel proeven. Zeer kleinschalig, en niet zo toeristisch als ik later in Edinburg zag.

Great tour

We had a great tour in which our guide took all the time for us, although we were just the two of us. It is nice to know about background of the distillery and how whisky's are made

A wonderful time

Never been to a distillery before. Our tour expert was warm and engaging with very informative knowledge about the whole process and history. Really enjoyed it and learnt a lot. The sample tasting at the end took me by surprise and I found all of them really great, albeit a wee bit potent for me. I left quite happy with a couple of bottles which will keep me in nightcaps for some time. I wear the pin proudly to remind me of that tour and the name of the whisky distillery to inform others. Well done and thanks for a lovely experience on such a wet, rainy day.

The best distillery tour we’ve ever done

The best distillery tour we’ve ever done . Wilma our tour guide was very friendly and informative . It was much more relaxed and personal than we have experienced at the bigger distilleries . Lots of tasting at the end too . If you only do one distillery tour make it this one

Suitable to making you a Whisky enthusiast - highly recommendable

Although having been the only participant that day, the tour was started by a pleasant and competent gentleman. I did not expect to learn so much of making Whisky and to learn it in this interesting way. The final has been the tasting - impressive and tasty!
In addition, since I am by far not a native english speaker, I did understand everything. The guide explained all the details well pronounced and slowly enough even for a german guy. Thank you again for the privilege of getting such a personal tour.

Super tolle Führung

Die Tour war super, wir durften sogar in ein Warehouse, was anderes Destillen nie zulassen. Leider war ich der Fahrer , so dass ich die Probe nicht mitmachen konnte. Es gab dafür ein kleines Fläschchen.
Aber die Führung kann ich nur empfehlen.

Best Tour

We had a very nice and friendly welcome. The tour was just amazing and we had a lot of laughs. All our questions were answered. The visit to the warehouse and the Angles Share was terrific.
The tasting of the different Whiskeys was even better. Best Tour ever.

Absolutely brilliant tour

Absolutely brilliant tour. Staff are very friendly and very knowledgeable. The entire distilling process is explained so well. It is fantastic to see the traditional handmade whisky distilling method in action. As for the finished product...Wolfburn Whisky is now one of my favourites. Would highly recommend the tour...

Very good guided tour

Very good guided tour. A lot of detailed information and clearly explained.
We were lucky to have Wilma as our tour guide

Although the distillery is relative young there were a lot of references to the past.

At the end good opportunity to taste or get a miniature bottle for the drivers. Well done!
