Light and disjointed, diluted new make with hints of canned fruits, some sweet malts, but irrelevant. You can nose it hard whole hour and still not getting much out from it. Probably from a batch with high proportion of refill casks. Tart and feather light. Young, short and generic. Certainly needed more "cask time".

delicious to drink, for the age already very balanced

Nose

no movement after pouring: fresh fruity white wine, no alcoholic notes, then nutmeg and slightly sour, pleasant later with movement: malt, the white wine note recedes in the background, slightly sour bread dough, clove and nutmeg, candy note, water note

Taste

Smooth and then sparkling, tingling, pleasant, fruity with malt and sweetness, licorice, cereals, on the palate slightly bitter and wood / chocolate,

Finish

In short, the notes are weak, grain salt and some wood

This whisky certainly has potential. However, at the age of 3, he is clearly too young for me - so at best average!

Awful - yes I accept that they need an early financial return and it's barely 3 y/o. But for £45 I could buy a 10y/o Springbank - there is no comparison. Should never have been bottled.

Nose

Young raw spirit, un-tamed ex islay peated cask.

Taste

Grappa. Some sweetness from the cask.

Finish

Makes you shudder (Really!) this is nasty. And yet... somewhere in the background is a GREAT spirit that just needs 12 years aging to realise it's potential. I would truly be happy to invest in a barrel. But I would not buy another bottle.

A young but pleasant mole, there is a certain potential in the basis, the first pancake did not go far; it's very simple and simple, but some depth is visible, there is no sense of boredom and senselessness of the process when tasting, it will be interesting in the future to try the more seasoned spirits of this distillery. Rating: 8.30 reference

Nose

Open, a lot of grain, moonshine notes, very young, herbaceous tones, a few vegetables - turnips, zucchini; apples, a little lemon peel, very weak peat and smoky shades.

Taste

Oily, sweet-grain with peppery wave.

Finish

Spicy, sweet-moonshine, orange peel, grapefruit crust, light notes of pickled cucumbers, a little oak.

Young whisky, of course. But characterful nevertheless. And no fancy wood trickery either. Kudos.

Nose

Subtle orchard fruits, like apples, but also white grapes and banana. Somewhat grassy, with a hint of ash and smoke. It is plenty sweet, by the way. Think vanilla and marzipan.

Taste

I really enjoy the oily texture. The palate is a tad dry, and showcases some cracked black pepper. There's also room for a pinch of salt, as well as a light touch of smoke. Some sweetness remains, as do the green and yellow fruits, but certainly not as pronounced as on the nose.

Finish

Spicy and nutty.

The very first whisky from Wolfburn shows for me already an amazingly high quality and makes it clear that much can be expected from the distillery.

Nose

First, fresh bright fruit-fruitiness. Over it a delicate plume of smoke that comes salty and reminds of the beach. With time in the glass, he becomes more and more grassy toward straw and

Taste

Light and mild on the tongue. The smoke is in the background. Fresh and fruity.

Finish

Quite short, but already slightly spicy. Already surprisingly round and hardly metallic.

For a 3 year young whisky, a strong taste and nice aftertaste.
