Product details
Wolfburn Aurora Sherry Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of Wolfburn Distillery, located in Thurso, Caithness, Scotland. Established in 2013, Wolfburn has rapidly gained acclaim for producing exceptional single malts that honor traditional methods while embracing innovation. Aurora is crafted from spirit matured in a harmonious blend of bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks. The whisky undergoes long fermentation and slow, gentle distillation before being laid down on-site in purpose-built warehouses. This careful maturation process results in an exceptionally smooth and perfectly balanced dram.
On the nose, Aurora presents sherry sweetness accompanied by aromas of freshly cut grass and autumn fruits, with subtle hints of coffee and dark chocolate. The palate reveals floral tones with overtones of spice and vanilla, leading to a fruity sweetness that coats the mouth. Fruit and nut flavors culminate in a warm, soft finish, with lingering sherry tones that persist to the very end. Bottled at 46% ABV, Aurora is non-chill filtered and retains its natural color, reflecting Wolfburn's commitment to purity and quality. This versatile whisky pairs beautifully with rich dishes such as roasted duck or beef stew, where its depth and complexity complement the hearty flavors. It also serves as an excellent accompaniment to dark chocolate desserts, enhancing the cocoa notes present in both the whisky and the confection.
