Introducing the Wolfburn Small Batch Single Malt Scotch Whisky Limited Release Collection, a distinguished assortment featuring two exceptional expressions: Small Batch 177 and Batch 458. Each release in this collection showcases the distillery’s innovative spirit and commitment to crafting unique and memorable whiskies.
**Small Batch 177:** The seventh release in Wolfburn's esteemed small batch series, Small Batch 177, is a masterful creation that exemplifies the art of blending diverse cask types. This expression combines spirit matured for eight years in first-fill ex-bourbon hogsheads with spirit aged for seven years in first-fill Caribbean rum barrels. The result is a whisky that harmoniously blends the smooth sophistication derived from bourbon casks with the distinctive sweetness and complexity imparted by the rum barrels.
The bourbon cask maturation imparts classic notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak, providing a rich, smooth foundation. The influence of the Caribbean rum barrels adds layers of tropical fruit, molasses, and a subtle hint of spice, creating a multi-dimensional profile that is both refined and intriguing. Small Batch 177 is a triumph of balance and depth, offering a memorable tasting experience that celebrates the interplay between two distinctly different cask types.
**Batch 458:** The eighth release in Wolfburn’s small batch series, Batch 458, presents a unique and compelling profile achieved through a carefully crafted blend. This release combines whisky matured for seven years in first-fill Pedro Ximénez sherry butts with lightly peated spirit aged in first-fill bourbon barrels. The result is a whisky that beautifully marries the rich, fruity characteristics of sherry maturation with the subtle smokiness of lightly peated malt.
The Pedro Ximénez sherry casks impart deep, luxurious notes of dried fruits, chocolate, and spices, while the bourbon barrels contribute a complementary layer of vanilla and oak. The gentle peat smoke adds an intriguing dimension, enhancing the overall complexity without overpowering the delicate sherry and bourbon influences. Batch 458 offers a sophisticated and harmonious flavour profile, making it an exceptional choice for those who appreciate a blend of sweetness, spice, and subtle smokiness.
Both Small Batch 177 and Batch 458 are limited releases, reflecting Wolfburn’s dedication to creating exceptional small-batch single malts. These whiskies are perfect for collectors and enthusiasts seeking rare and distinctive expressions that showcase the distillery’s innovative approach to whisky making. Experience the artistry and craftsmanship of Wolfburn with these extraordinarily limited releases, each offering a unique and unforgettable journey through flavour.
