We’ve enjoyed a superb summer in the far north, and to help keep everyone in the holiday mood a little bit longer, we’ve imported some additional sunshine in the form of first-fill Caribbean rum barrels. Laid down back in 2016, the product of these exquisite casks is finally ready: we are delighted to announce Wolfburn’s latest release, Batch 177.

Created from a combination of spirit matured for seven years in first-fill Caribbean rum barrels, married with spirit matured for eight years in first-fill bourbon hogsheads, the resultant whisky has a uniquely sunny, smooth and sweet flavour. Full details here.

‘Whisky is liquid sunshine,’ quipped George Bernard Shaw – and on this occasion at least, he was entirely correct.

Batch 177 has been created from a combination of spirit matured for eight years in first-fill ex-bourbon hogsheads, married with spirit matured for seven years in first-fill Caribbean rum barrels.

ON THE NOSE:

Roasted figs and prunes meet candied ginger. There’s a terrific depth of flavour with plum sauce and toffee meeting marzipan and sultanas.

ON THE PALATE:

Rum influence shines through with overtones of molasses ever present. Layers of sweetness unfurl over time, with fruit and honey notes beautifully bound together by silky oak tannins.

THE FINISH:

Sticky, fruity, decadent and delicious.
