8 Year Old Northland miniature: where Wolfburn began, in 5cl

The 8 Year Old Northland Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature is a 5cl bottle of exactly what goes into the full-size 70cl. Try it before you commit to a big bottle, tuck it into a stocking, or line it up with our other whisky miniatures for a tasting at home.

It was the first whisky we released after bringing Wolfburn back to life in 2013. It spends at least eight years in American oak quarter casks, with the faintest trace of peat at 5ppm. Jim Murray gave it 89.5 and five stars in his Whisky Bible 2026.

On the nose

Sweet at first, with fruit and fresh sea air. Behind that, citrus, cereal and a trace of peat smoke.

On the palate

Sweet and nutty, with grapes and honey, then floral notes and a little dried fruit and spice.

Finish

Soft and sweet, fading slowly, with a last trace of gentle peat smoke.

Non-chill filtered / Natural colour

5cl

How much is in a 5cl miniature?

50ml, enough for two standard 25ml measures. The 8 Year Old Northland Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature is the same whisky, at the same 46% ABV, as the full-size bottle.

Is Northland peated?

Only just. It is made from malt peated to 5ppm, so you will find a faint trace of smoke rather than a bonfire.

Awards
