10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky: a decade in sherry oak

Our 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky was Wolfburn's first permanent age statement, and we were in no hurry to get there. Every drop spends the full ten years in hand-selected second-fill Oloroso sherry casks, resting in our seaside warehouses in Thurso. No bourbon casks, no finishing, no peat. Spanish sherry oak, Caithness air and time.

You can taste where the decade went. Figs and raisins on the nose, chocolate and dark fruit on the palate, and a finish that takes its time leaving. If you want an aged single malt Scotch that wears its sherry openly, this is the one.

On the nose
Soft sherry sweetness with figs and raisins, and a hint of vanilla and oak.

On the palate
Bold chocolate and dark fruit, with caramel, vanilla and gentle hints of nutmeg and oak smoke.

Finish
Silky tannins and a lingering sweetness, with dried fruit and caramel to the very end.

Non-chill filtered. Natural colour. 46% ABV. 70cl.

What does an Oloroso sherry cask do to whisky?

Oloroso sherry casks are oak casks that once held sherry from Spain. Over ten years, the wood passes some of that character into the spirit, and it is a big part of where the 10 Year Old's dried fruit, chocolate and sweetness come from.

What is the difference between the 10 Year Old and the 12 Year Old?

The 10 Year Old spends its whole life in Oloroso sherry casks, so it is the more openly sherried of the two. The 12 Year Old splits its time equally between sherry butts and ex-bourbon casks, and its palate leans more towards honey and burnt sugar. Both are bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered and naturally coloured.

The 10 Year Old single malt Scotch whisky is also where this year's Christmas edition comes from: The Holly and The Ivy. For a smaller pour, the Christmas Wee Dram is the same whisky in a 5cl bottle. You can browse the full core range, or taste it where it was made on a distillery tour in Thurso.

Great choice

So happy with my purchase, thank you. Definately chose the right one. We did have a taster on our tour to help us decide. We have reccomended to friends.

A taster on the tour is the best sales pitch we've got, so we're glad it did its job. Thanks for the kind words and for recommending us to your friends. Hope the bottle lasts longer than most do.
Regards,
Wolfburn

Loved it when I had it at the distillery
And love it still

Thank you, Anthony. It's good to hear the 10 Year Old tastes as you remember it from your visit to Thurso, and that the delivery arrived ahead of schedule. We hope you enjoy the rest of the bottle. Regards, Wolfburn

Top Class as good as Morven

Top Class.
This was for my husband who has already tried and enjoyed Morven, rating it as one of the best whiskies he had ever tasted. I gave him the 10 year old to try and contrast and he is now hard put to decide which is better

A class of it‘s own

I first enjoyed it last spring at the Wolfburn distillery. The taste immediately won me over and has stayed with me for a long time. I simply had to order it. Shipping to Germany wasn't cheap, but it was definitely worth it for me.

Thank you for your kind words and for choosing our 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed it at the Wolfburn distillery and that it left a lasting impression on you. We understand that shipping to Germany can be costly, but we are glad to know that it was worth it for you. Cheers to many more enjoyable sips!

Good but the competition is better

Good but a bit balnd. The competition for a sherried whisky is better. Try Laphroaig (sherried versions) or Hearach Oloroso for a more defined taste.

Thank you for your feedback on our 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky. We appreciate your honest opinion and will take it into consideration for future improvements.
