Wolfburn Langskip Single Malt Scotch 750 ml

Wolfburn is one of Scotland's most northerly distilleries, based in Thurso near the very top of the Highlands, and it revived a name that had been dormant since a 19th-century distillery of the same name closed. Langskip — named for the Viking longships that once sailed the nearby coast — is their no-age-statement entry expression, matured entirely in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 46% without chill filtration or added color. Expect a lighter, honeyed style with citrus and vanilla, more in line with a Speyside malt than the peated, coastal whiskies you might expect from somewhere this far north. A solid introduction to a genuinely small, newer distillery.

How to drink Wolfburn Langskip

Drink it neat or with a few drops of water — the 46% bottling strength and lack of chill filtration mean it holds up well either way. A single malt this approachable also works fine on the rocks if you prefer it cooler.
