In 1821, William Smith founded the Wolfburn distillery on the outskirts of Thurso, named after a nearby stream. The distillery, built from sturdy Caithness stone slabs, quickly developed into a major producer of malt whisky. The distillery remained family-owned until the 1850s and may have been in sporadic operation until the 1860s, although it was marked as a ruin on a map in 1872. A new building was erected near the old site.

The distillery’s logo, designed in 2011, is based on a 16th-century drawing by Conrad Gessner and references the sea wolf, a local legend said to bring good luck. The logo symbolises the distillery’s deep connection to Scottish culture and history.

Wolfburn VIBRANT STILLS is matured for eight years in selected fresh bourbon casks, which impart intense aromas and flavour nuances to the whisky during this time. This whisky represents not only the renaissance of a distillery steeped in tradition, but also the artisanal care and passion that go into its production.

The release is limited to 1,500 bottles.
