Wolfburn, Single Malt Scotch: Manager's Cask (Limited Edition)

700 ml, 57.9% ABV, 640 bottles (single cask release). 6 available in Singapore.

Our first casks were laid down in January 2013 and the manager’s private cask followed shortly afterwards – it is one of Wolfburn’s oldest sherry butts, and was hand-picked for its outstanding quality.  Having previously held Oloroso sherry, the Spanish oak has done a wonderful job of maturing our signature smooth, sweet spirit in to a beautifully rounded, vibrant, and thoroughly enjoyable whisky.

“During my 23 years in the industry, it’s always been a source of fascination watching variations in cask maturation – especially with sherry wood. Mine was hand-selected eight years ago and I am absolutely delighted with the way it has performed.”

Iain Kerr, Distillery Manager.

NOSE
Golden syrup and hints of toffee lead the way.  Soft sherry tones are present of course, but they’re subtle and overlaid with butterscotch and caramel. Lots of sweetness here.

TASTE
There’s a purity of spirit that only a single cask bottling can produce.  Creamy richness covers the palate and the flavours just keep unfurling. Sherry sweetness leads to raisins and dates and plums – Christmas cake at its best, with additional subtle hints of almonds and marzipan.

FINISH
Caramel and heather honey remain, leaving soft autumn fruit flavours lingering at the very end.
