The distillery overlooking the turbulent waters of Pentland Firth stands on almost exactly the same spot as the original Wolfburn distillery, which was founded in 1821 by William Smith on the outskirts of Thurso. Smith named his distillery after the watercourse it drew from, “burn” being the Scots word for stream or small river. In 1826, Wolfburn was the largest producer of malt whisky in the historic county of Caithness based on its annual production. After it was sold by his descendants, Smith’s distillery closed in the 1860s, and nothing was left but a pile of stones when a private consortium decided to bring it back to life in the early 2010s. The first casks at the new distillery were filled in 2013, and in 2016, the first single malt Scotch whisky was bottled on site.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe new Wolfburn distillery uses water from Wolf Burn, and crafts its whisky the same way it has always been made: by hand, using only the finest ingredients, and without haste. The milling and mashing-in is done by hand. Long fermentation is followed by slow and gentle double distillation in small stills to make a pure, smooth spirit, which is then matured in the finest hand-selected oak casks. Wolfburn ages its whisky in ex Oloroso Sherry butts made from European or American oak, ex-Bourbon barrels, and American oak quarter casks. All the whiskies are non-chill filtered, entirely naturally colored and bottled by hand. Wolfburn’s range features unpeated and peated expressions.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nLangskip is Wolfburn’s flagship single malt whisky, matured for six years in first-fill Bourbon barrels. This sweet and balanced whisky is bottled at almost cask strength, at 58% ABV, to ensure a huge depth of flavor. Langskip has won several international awards since it was launched in 2018.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nGrab your bottle today!                                        \u003cdiv class=\"caskers-spirit-type-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Scotch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all!
