Wolfburn Aurora Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Highland single malt that captures the mystical beauty of the Northern Lights in every sip?

Wolfburn Aurora represents a remarkable achievement from Scotland’s northernmost mainland distillery, combining the elegance of first-fill bourbon barrels with the richness of Oloroso sherry casks. This Highland expression showcases what happens when traditional craftsmanship meets innovative maturation techniques. Despite being from a young distillery, it rivals established expressions like Deanston Virgin Oak Highland Single Malt and GlenDronach Ode to the Valley Highland Single Malt in complexity and character.

Our team at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store has found this expression delivers remarkable complexity for its youth, with that distinctive rancio character typically found in much older whiskies. The dual cask maturation creates layers that unfold beautifully with each sip.

Recommended for: Those who appreciate sherried whiskies but want something different from The Dalmore 25 Years Highland Single Malt.
