With just six months to go until Wolfburn’s inaugural bottling, it’s all systems go at the distillery!

After a great deal of consideration, we have decided to do our bottling on site – one of only a tiny handful of Scottish distilleries to do so. Work has begun to install the bottling plant, and we’re also building a new warehouse right next door to the stillhouse, which will provide sufficient laydown and maturation space for years to come. There would be no point having a bottling plant without glassware – and we now have our own unique bottle shape, complete with the Wolfburn name embossed in the glass base of the bottle. We’re hard at work finalising the labels, corks, stoppers and foil caps – and we’re confident that everything will be finished and ready to go in plenty of time for the inaugural bottling, which is expected around the end of February.

The excitement isn’t limited to Thurso: this autumn you’ll be able to meet the Wolfburn team and sample some of our spirit at a variety of shows, including Whisky Live Paris (26-27 September); WhiskySchiff Zurich (26-27 November); InterWhisky Frankfurt (28-29 November); and Whisky Festival Tokyo (29 November).

In this edition of the Laydown: the last of our three-part series on the best oak casks, this time looking at maturation and processes that turn new-make spirit into fine single malt Highland Whisky. Our fascination with Wolfburn’s buccaneering history continues with an article about maritime smuggling. And finally, for anyone curious about the Wolfburn logo, there’s a piece dedicated to sea-wolves, romantic creatures of good fortune.
