Wolfburn Langskip Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 50ml

Wolfburn Langskip Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 50ml

Wolfburn Langskip is the high‑strength core expression from Wolfburn Distillery in Thurso, the northernmost mainland distillery in Scotland, and is matured entirely in first‑fill ex‑bourbon casks. Bottled at a hefty 58% ABV, non‑chill filtered and naturally coloured, it is described by the distillery as “a sweet, balanced and beautifully easy‑drinking dram,” with notable richness and depth that still drinks surprisingly smoothly.

Production & Style
Langskip is produced, matured and bottled at Wolfburn in the Scottish Highlands as an official single malt. The whisky is made from unpeated malt and aged exclusively in first‑fill ex‑bourbon barrels for around 5–7 years, making it Wolfburn’s oldest‑matured core bottling to date, with casks providing plenty of vanilla, caramel, maple and sweet spice. It is bottled at 58% ABV, with no chill‑filtration and no added colouring, showcasing a powerful yet balanced bourbon‑cask‑driven Highland style with some maritime freshness.

Tasting Notes
Colour: Straw to gold, bright and clear – lighter in colour than the richness of the palate might suggest.

Nose: Fruit blossom and dried apples with light oak, followed by raisins, dates and rich fruitcake, as per the official note. Independent reviews add plenty of vanilla, powdered sugar, winegums and other candies, oranges, honey and caramel candy, with malty and floral undertones.

Palate: Rich, sweet and full‑bodied. Official notes highlight maple syrup, dark chocolate, almonds and raisins in a smooth, coating texture. Other tasters report winegums, orange sweets, barley sugar, vanilla and a spicy edge of white pepper and clove, with the 58% ABV giving warmth and intensity that benefits from a splash of water.

Finish: Long and warming, with sweet fruit tones, vanilla and softly fading caramel, plus a touch of citrus and spice on the tail.

Serving & Pairing
Serving temperature: Around 18–22°C.
How to drink:

• Neat for experienced whisky drinkers who enjoy cask‑strength style.
• With a splash of water to open up more vanilla, maple sweetness and fruit while softening the alcohol bite.
