Wolfburn No. 155

Nose : a bit chemical, almond paste Palete: peppermint, deliciously spicy, cookie dough, Chilli, lavender Finish : warm and sweet, dry oak, pencil lead Alltogether a intresting and spicy dram, however something is off and a bit bitter all the time

(Vita Dulcis Advent Calendar 20/24) Even though I didn’t like the core line of Wolfburn, I became a small fan of them because of the special small batch releases they do. I had some of them but never managed to get my hands on this particular one here. So let’s see how it holds up to my favorite 375. Nose: delicious familiar Wolfburn nose with an extra portion of port on this one. Very rich fruity notes of peaches, pears, apples and some sweet berries, some vegetal and savory spicy notes as well, then some autum dry grain unharvested, mild dried apricots, orange juice and vanilla whiffs Palate: sweet and a little hot entry, then it gets sweet and acidic prickly on the tongue like that super sour candy you got as a kid, when that has settled a bid you get nice trail mix, crispy banana chips, apple peel, apple seeds too and a distinct Asian nashi pear Finish: nuts, baked apple, a lot of malt, lemon juice Verdict: what an exiting and interesting whisky, the flavors are delivering a nice experience, this is a very promising whisky that makes me exited for what Wolfburn has in store for later years. Thinking about it it really reminds me of the Bruichladdich Classic Laddie 10y but with a hotter character and more fruity notes.

Whiskey galore kindly opened up their whiskey cabinet pre tasting and my eye settled on this one. Wolfburn did a lot of crap stuff early on but much improved now. 4 years bourbon, 6 months port barrel.
