The Wolfburn Aurora Sherry Oak is a distinctive whisky with an ABV of 46% and is available in a 700ml bottle. This unique expression from the Wolfburn Distillery, the northernmost distillery on the Scottish mainland, has been crafted from spirit matured in a combination of American oak and Spanish Oloroso sherry casks. The whisky is a blend consisting of 20% first-fill Oloroso sherry casks, 40% first-fill bourbon barrels, and 40% small second-fill bourbon casks. This meticulous maturation process, carried out over three years in purpose-built warehouses on-site, results in a sweet and well-balanced whisky with hints of spice.
The nose of the Wolfburn Aurora Sherry Oak reveals the sherry sweetness, accompanied by the aromas of freshly cut grass, autumnal fruits, and subtle notes of coffee and dark chocolate. On the palate, it delivers floral tones and overtones of spice and vanilla, with a fruity sweetness that envelops the taste buds. The finish is warm and soft, featuring a delightful blend of nuts, cocoa, bitter chocolate oranges, honey, white fruits, and a hint of smoke. Airing further enhances the depth and sherried notes, along with nuts and sultanas, offering a woody, roasted profile with cocoa and vanilla.
