WOLFBURN SMALL BATCH 458 46°
Distilled in 2015 - 7 years old. Cask NO.1: First-fill Pedro Ximénez - Cask NO.2: First-Fill Bourbon barrels.
This is the seventh small batch release, Batch 458. This unusually sweet, subtle dram is made from a 50/50 combination of whiskey matured for seven years in first-fill Pedro Ximénez sherry butts, married with lightly peated spirit matured in first-fill fill bourbon barrels. These casks produced a total of just 5,100 bottles and the result is a rich, sweet single malt with a truly exceptional depth of flavour. Full details here.
Nose:
syrup and coffee notes lead the way, accompanied by subtle notes of cherries and dried herbs. An intoxicating aroma, full of promise.
Taste:
hazelnut, almonds and cloves are all present, beautifully coated with soft peat smoke. The tannins are subtle, allowing the palate to develop beautifully. Give it time and the full extent of the flavors will reveal themselves.
Aftertaste:
the sweetness of syrup remains until the end, accompanied by hints of spice. A trail of peat smoke lingers when everything else has disappeared
