Wolfburn Aurora Whisky

Wolfburn Aurora is a single malt Scotch whisky from Wolfburn Distillery in Thurso, the most northerly distillery on the Scottish mainland. Named after the Northern Lights, it is made from unpeated spirit matured on site in a mix of ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, which are vatted together before bottling at 46% ABV.

Sherry sweetness leads on the nose, with grassy freshness, autumn fruit and hints of coffee and dark chocolate. The palate opens with floral notes before spice and vanilla arrive, with fruit and nuts coating the mouth, and the finish lingers gently with sherry to the end. A beautifully balanced, approachable dram.
