Wolfburn – Aurora Sherry Oak (70cl, 46%)

Wolfburn Aurora Sherry Oak is an unpeated single malt from the distillery's core range, made in Thurso in Caithness. It carries no age statement and is bottled at 46%, without chill-filtration or added colour. Whisky matured in bourbon casks is married with whisky from Oloroso sherry casks. Fermentation is long and distillation is slow and double, and the spirit matures in the distillery's own warehouses. The nose opens with sherried sweetness, fresh-cut grass and autumn fruits, with coffee and dark chocolate behind. On the palate come floral tones, spice and vanilla, then fruit and nuts. The finish is warm and soft, with the sherry notes lasting to the end.
