Wolfburn Morven Lightly Peated Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky [700ML]

Description

What happens when Scotland’s northernmost mainland distillery revives its 19th-century peat-smoking tradition with modern precision?

Wolfburn Morven Lightly Peated Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky represents a remarkable resurrection story from Thurso, where the original distillery’s peat-fired heritage meets contemporary craftsmanship. This non-chill-filtered expression showcases how gentle smoke can enhance rather than dominate Highland character. Double Gold Medal winner at FiftyBest awards, it stands alongside distinguished peated expressions like BenRiach Smoky 12 Years and Big Peat Islay Blended Malt in our premium collection.
