Distillery
Wolfburn
Just west of Thurso, on the far north coast of Scotland, an original Wolfburn distillery opened in 1821 and grew into the largest in Caithness. It fell silent in the 1860s and lay forgotten for more than a century. In 2013 a private consortium brought the name back to life. The new distillery sits in the Highland region. About 350 metres from the old site, and draws its water from the Wolf Burn stream that gives it its name. The spirit is double distilled and bottled on site. This is the most northerly whisky distillery on the Scottish mainland. The first single malt was released globally in 2016 and quickly collected gold medals at international competitions.
