Wolfburn Aurora Single Malt Single Malt Whisky

Product Information

Wolfburn are already carving a reputation out for themselves as new distillers to watch after just a few years. Their Aurora bottling is a combination of American oak casks and ex-sherry casks. A fruity, spicy treats from the Scottish Highlands. Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products. That single connection, though, is a powerful link. The pH and mineral profile of water has considerable impact on the eventual taste of a whisky. In the case of Wolfburn, its namesake river is situated in the far north of Scotland. By just drawing the same water for fermentation, these new distillers will be capturing an essential element of what would have made the older Wolfburn what it was. The distillery primarily produces unpeated spirit but since 2014 has also produced peated batches. Its production strictly adheres to long fermentations and slow distillations ot craft a smooth but characterful spirit.

Palate: Thin bodied. Robust tongue burn up front, which resolves into cinnamon extract, powdered ginger, and berry jam over a thin layer of malt. Eclectic.

With Water: A few drops of water wake up the sherry a bit – adding fruit – and also round out the vanilla sweetness in the aroma. The palate also seems fuller and more dynamic. Water highly recommended with this one.

Wolfburn's story would remain silent for almost 150 years until 2011 when a private consortium, Aurora Brewing Ltd, sought to re-establish and rebuild the distillery within short proximity to its original buildings (only parts of ruins remain). The distillery was then designed and built over the next two years before production finally commenced on 25th January 2013, Burn's Night. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. Maybe it was somewhat coincidental with the release of the first Jurassic Park movie, or the romance implied from childhood books, I definitely considered it. I’m sure some of you did as well, fantasising about scratching away at old relics, elucidating their hidden secrets, and discovering amazing hidden gems. This is much the same way as I view ourselves right now. We are in the Golden Age of whisky, where new distilleries doing new things are popping up all over the world, awaiting a firm-brimmed and khaki-clad explorer to stumble upon their elixir, before shouting about their discovery to the world. I want to celebrate that one of our most recent producers is now able to release core expressions with a decent age statement. It’s all natural too. I think it’s the richest, fullest and most complete expression I’ve tried and it’s finding its own, unique vibe and profile.

In fact, each of the bottles being reviewed today is as young as possible without being disqualified as a single malt Scotch. That’s right, in each case we’re talking about three years of age. As a 5pm whisky, Aurora has hit the spot: it’s delicate, easy to drink, sweetly delicious and gently warming. The heavier hitting whisky miniatures will be steadily consumed in front of the fire during cold evenings but the half-dram-bottle of Aurora I’m left with stays on the office desk – I’m sure it will come in handy the next time the heater fails to do its job. Inspired by Broddy I sipped alongside an Ardmore and eventually a Lagavulin. It turned into a nice evening, with this 7yo showing hazelnut and honey sweetness and a richer note compared to the others. I pour another and things get fuller as the sourness subsides a little. In summary; lemons, apples and farmyard with a very soft smoke.
