Review #509 |
This is one of the initial expressions from
Wolfburn Distillery. It is 3 years old and 16.000 bottles were made. Malted
barley and new make spirit is first things that hit my nose. Then some apples,
vanilla and sweet fruity notes.
Still young in the taste, but it starts
moving away from the classic young-whisky notes. Still some malt, but now mixed
with grass and hay. The oak is actually present as well and some spices mixes
in. Peppery notes. The finish is long and sweet, but still with the grass and
hay and maybe some smokiness (from the burned oak).
The youthfulness shows in the smell, but
already here after three years, it is quite flavourful in the taste and finish.
Is this a great whisky? No. Do I look forward to other Wolfburn expressions and
do I think they have potential? YES! I will give this 80/100 (19/20/21/20).
