Wolfburn Morven Single Malt

Worth a bottle. Smoky, really good.

Very pleasantly peated young dram with a soft smokiness akin to kippers. The nose is grassy and sweet, with white pepper on the spicy palate. That spice lingers like when a peppercorn gets stuck in your teeth. That grassy-hay, farmyard sweetness returns on a short finish.

I tasted most products of Wolfburn at a tasting event. Out of Aurora, 375, Northland, Morven, Langskip, The Nectar, and 318, I prefered the 375 and 318. However, at this pricepoint there are better options out there for me. Morven had light peaty bbqsmoke in the nose and mouth. A bit of medicinal alcohol. Not super impactful in terms of flavour.

Fruit chews and mild peat nose. Soft, and a little sweet. Salty peat. Bright youth. Drying finish. Lots of potential.

Very light color. Lightly plated nose, with treacle, stone fruits, light brine. Peat up front, elongates with smooth brine and light vegetal notes. Aftertaste of a sour ashy flavor that ends confusingly. A simple dram, not as impressive as the langskip.
