On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me… a whisky worth waiting for

Wolfburn’s Partridge in a Pear Tree Christmas Single Malt Whisky is the shining star of our range – a limited release crafted for moments of quiet celebration. Matured for twelve patient years in a perfect balance of second-fill Oloroso sherry butts and ex-bourbon casks, it delivers a harmony of rich sweetness, subtle spice, and delicate oak.

Each sip unfolds layers of dried fruit, vanilla, and gentle sherry warmth – the flavour of craftsmanship perfected with time. A wee dram to savour by the fire, it’s more than just a whisky – it’s the spirit of Christmas, bottled.

ON THE NOSE
On the nose, there’s a lovely mix of sweet and floral aromas, overlaid with a subtle trace of peat smoke.

ON THE PALATE
There’s a wonderful depth of flavour. Hints of honey and burnt sugar mix with soft spices, and throughout there is the ever-present sherry sweetness.

FINISH
The finish is long, lingering and delicious, with traces of dried fruit and caramel remaining until the very end.

Non-chill filtered / Natural Colour
46% ABV.

The best Xmas present

What a great whisky. In the nose fruity sweetness pear and some ripe apples. Mouthfilling well balanced alcohol, dry sherry and again sweet pears. Creamy sweet aftertaste. Be careful when you open a bottle it might be gone quickly. This whisky is like drugs you become addicted to it. When my wife and I opened a small bottle it was gone that evening. Thank you Wolfburn!!!
