Wolfburn, Single Malt Scotch: Kylver 9, Hagalaz (Limited Edition)

700 ml, 52.8% ABV, Non-chill filtered. 4 bottles left in Singapore.

The ninth instalment in Wolfburn's flagship Kylver series has been aged for seven years in a first-fill dark rum barrel before being married with two first-fill bourbon barrels of the same age. Laid down in 2015 in warehouse No.2 it is the first time we have used rum casks at Wolfburn and this cask has produced a distinctly aromatic and spicy whisky, full of Caribbean promise. 

NOSE
Bright and bold, the flavours almost jump out of the glass. Coffee, chocolate and deep muscovado sugar aromas abound, overlaid with ripe dark fruit.

TASTE 
Mocha chocolate meets sumptuous sponge pudding. Richer flavours unfold over time; there's spiced fruitcake and plums and black cherry, all presented with a beautiful creaminess.

FINISH
Long, slow and smooth. Vanilla, cinnamon and soft oak smoke right to the end.
