Product description

The old Wolfburn distillery was already closed at the end of the 19th century. Shane Fraser and Iain Kerr built a new distillery of the same name nearby in Thurso a few years ago. Wolfburn is thus the most northerly distillery on the Scottish mainland. Whisky has been distilled here since 2013.

Northland is the successor to the First General Release and is available regularly.

The Distillery: Wolfburn

Wolfburn is the northernmost distillery on the Scottish mainland. It was originally built in 1821 but had to close again in the course of the 19th century and today only ruins of the old complex remain. In 2011, a new distillery was built not far from the ruins and in the meantime the production volume has returned to the same level as in the 19th century. The logo features a wolf, whose related mythical creature, the so-called 'sea wolf', is said to bring good luck to all those who set eyes on it. In the 16th century, when the drawing for the Wolfburn logo was made, there were plenty of wolves in the area. read more
