Aurora 35cl: sherried and unpeated, in a half bottle

Aurora Single Malt Scotch Whisky in a 35cl half bottle is the same whisky as the full-size 70cl, in a bottle that suits a smaller shelf, a first try, or a gift that does not need a crate to wrap it.

It is named for the Northern Lights over Caithness, and matured in first-fill ex-bourbon casks and first-fill Oloroso sherry hogsheads, so you get vanilla sweetness and dried fruit in the same glass. It is completely unpeated. Jim Murray gave it 86 and five stars in his Whisky Bible 2026.

On the nose

Sherry sweetness first, then freshly cut grass and autumn fruits, with a hint of coffee and dark chocolate.

On the palate

Floral, with spice and vanilla, and a fruity sweetness that brings fruit and nut flavours along with it.

Finish

Warm, soft and gentle, with the sherry staying right to the end.

Non-chill filtered / Natural colour

35cl

Is the 35cl the same whisky as the 70cl?

Yes. Same casks, same strength, same Thurso. Aurora Single Malt Scotch Whisky 35cl is simply half the size of the 70cl bottle, at 46% ABV.

Is Aurora peated?

No. Aurora is made from unpeated malt, so there is no smoke at all. It is the bottle we hand to people who are not sure they like whisky.

Want a smaller taste first? Try the Aurora miniature. If Aurora Single Malt Scotch Whisky wins you over, the full 70cl is waiting, or browse all our 35cl half bottles.

great whiskey

Thanks for leaving a review for our Aurora Single Malt Scotch Whisky. We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed it and think it's a great whisky. Thank you for your support and happy sipping.

Excellen holiday companion

We stoppen by Wolfburn destillery during our holiday and tried some of the Whiskies.
Our shopping cart also included the Aurora, which we opened up immediately on the same evening.
The liquid level lowered steadily over the course of our holiday. What a round Whisky with very smooth taste both satisfying the "Sherry Lover" and the " peat lover".
It has the distinct Wolfburn taste paired with a lovely lightness.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with our Aurora whisky. We are thrilled to hear that it was the perfect companion during your holiday and that you were able to enjoy its smooth taste. It's wonderful that you were able to appreciate both the sherry and peat notes, as we strive to create a well-balanced whisky for all palates. We hope to welcome you back to Wolfburn Distillery in the future. Cheers!
