Wolfburn Distillery is a Scotch whisky distillery located on the edge of Thurso, Caithness, in the Highland region of Scotland. It was founded in 1821 and, after lying dormant for over 150 years, was rebuilt and returned to production in 2013; it is currently owned by Aurora Brewing Limited. Wolfburn is the most northerly distillery on the Scottish mainland, drawing its process water from the Wolf Burn stream from which it takes its name.
The original Wolfburn distillery was established in 1821 by William Smith, using local Caithness flagstone, and grew to become the largest distillery in the county during the 19th century. It was passed down through several generations of the Smith family before ceasing production around 1858/1860s, after which the site fell into disuse and little of the original buildings survived.
In 2012 a private consortium of investors, formed as Aurora Brewing Limited, gained planning approval from Caithness authorities to build a new distillery at Henderson Park in Thurso, roughly 350 metres from the site of the original works. The new distillery, designed and built by Forsyths of Rothes, began distilling again on Burns Night, 25 January 2013. An on-site bottling facility followed in February 2016, and the inaugural Wolfburn single malt was launched globally the following month. The distillery has since won multiple gold medals in international competitions and, as of 2025, produces both unpeated and lightly peated expressions.
Wolfburn's core range includes the age-stated 8 Year Old (Northland), 10 Year Old, and 12 Year Old single malts (all 46% ABV), alongside the non-age-stated Aurora (sherried, 46% ABV), Morven (lightly peated, 46% ABV), and the cask-strength Langskip (58% ABV). The distillery also produces a Pentland Whisky Liqueur (26% ABV). Guided tours and tastings are available at the distillery.

About Glenbotal
The idea of Glenbotal came to us naturaly: as whisky lovers, we were always on the lookout for new experiences in the whisky world. That’s why we created Glenbotal and became our very own first customers. We buy unique and hard to find spirits from auctions, ballots, and private collections. Then, we share them with a small circle of friends and people who can appreciate a good dram.
