Wolfburn Small Batch 458
Description
The seventh small-batch release from Wolfburn, Batch 458 has been crafted from a 50/50 combination of whisky matured for seven years in first-fill Pedro Ximénez sherry butts, married with lightly-peated spirit matured in first-fill bourbon barrels. These casks produced just 5,100 bottles in total and the result is a rich, sweet single malt with a truly exceptional depth of flavour.
Notes of treacle and coffee take the lead, complemented by delicate cherry and dried spice undertones. The aroma is intoxicating, brimming with potential. Hazelnuts, almonds, and cloves make a delightful appearance, all seamlessly integrated with a gentle peat smoke. The tannins are understated, fostering a graceful evolution of the palate. With patience, the full spectrum of flavors will unfold. The treacle's sweetness persists to the finish, joined by nuances of spice. Even after other flavors fade, a whisper of peat smoke endures.
