Wolfburn The Kylver Series 8th Release Wunjo Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (2021) 70cl

1 of 990 bottles

BASED ON THE VIKING RUNIC ALPHABET

At Wolfburn they have the odd special cask that delivers a distinctively good whisky. Perhaps one that nature has intended to mature in its own special way or a different type of cask. To make sure these whiskies get their own stage to be shared and enjoyed we have created The Kylver Series. Named after a burial stone that features one of the earliest examples of the Viking runic alphabet and to reflect the history of Caithness that surrounds us, The Kylver Series will grow as Wolfburn grows and chart our journey through the years ahead.

Wolfburn (of Thurso) has recently wrestled the title of Scotland's most northerly mainland distillery from Old Pulteney, the Wick-based maritime malt masters. Having only gained approval for the new distillery - which lies a short distance from the old one, but draws its water from the same "Wolf Burn" - in 2012, the owners managed to produce the first spirit in early 2013. Very early on in the distillery's formation, the company cleverly hired Shane Fraser who was formerly manager of Glenfarclas.
