Wolfburn Northland
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland

This is one of Scotland's newest distilleries, located farther north than any other Highlander, making it more of an Islander. I really had high hopes for this one, but it has a ways to go; still a bit too young. It's crisp, fresh, lemon-y. Quick finish. It's not bad, but just a bit young and needs time to show its true potential. Between this and Ailsa Bay (can't help but compare since that has its first 3 Yr old out too), I prefer Ailsa Bay by far.

Lee: I'll send over another one of this when I send the Ailsa Bay. You might enjoy comparing the two youngsters side by side. I'm planning on doing that when I open up the Ailsa Bay for one the next rounds
There are many instances when I actually love, love, love a young, zippy and fresh single malt. Especially during a multiple smoky scotch tasting. They really help reset my palate and give me a little extra kick in the pants to power forward. I believe I will be saving this sample for one of those nights. I just hope I'll still be coherent enough to give it a proper spin...lol. Great review, Pranay. Cheers.
Yeah, and considering how young it is, it's better than others twice it's age.
Sometimes new distilleries need to just put out what they have to turn a quick profit so they can keep the doors open, lights on and stills burning. Looking forward to trying it.
