Wolfburn 10 y.o. No. 416 Small Batch Release - 1st Fill Ruby Port Pipes

Special features: The Wolfburn 10 Years No. 416 Small Batch Release matured entirely in first-fill Ruby Port pipes from the Douro Valley in Portugal. With an alcohol content of 46%, this single malt reflects the tradition of the Wolfburn Distillery, which was founded in 1821 and reopened in 2013. The distillery is located in Thurso, Caithness, and is the northernmost distillery on the Scottish mainland. This whisky is lightly peated and comes in an attractive gift packaging.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: The nose reveals warm port aromas alongside accents of sea salt. Elegant notes of dried fruits such as raisins, dark cherries, and sultanas gradually develop.
• Palate: On the palate, lush caramel and gentle vanilla are joined by a beautiful, wine-soaked wine aroma. Darker hints of gentle oak, smoke, and the sweetness of dates and figs provide a smooth, full-bodied texture.
• Finish: The finish is long and warming. Caramel and dried fruits linger, while the characteristic Ruby Port notes shine through until the end.
