Matured for 8 years in American oak quarter casks

The smooth and warming flavours present in 8 Year Old Northland Single Malt Scotch Whisky come from the unhurried way in which the spirit is made, and from the maturation, which takes place in American oak quarter casks. Matured for a minimum of eight years and bottled on-site, Northland represents the first chapter in the history of Wolfburn.

ON THE NOSE
Initially sweet with notes of fruit and fresh sea air. In the background, you’ll find citrus freshness and hints of cereal, and just a trace of peat smoke.

ON THE PALATE
Sweet, nutty tones come to the fore, with hints of grapes and honey in the background. Floral flavours abound, enhanced with just a hint of dried fruit and spice.

FINISH
Soft sweet tones fade gradually away, overlaid with just a trace of gentle peat smoke at the very end.

Non chill-filtered / Natural Colour
46% ABV.

Another great taste from Wolfburn. Just a hint of a woody/peaty glow if sipped slowly. Gentle on the nose with the usual warm afterglow. Very good value for a tasty single malt.
