Wolfburn Small Batch No.177
The Tasting Notes
Roasted figs and prunes meet candied ginger
There's a terrific depth of flavour with plum sauce and toffee meeting marzipan and sultanas. On the mid-palate, rum influence shines through with overtones of molasses ever present, beautifully bound together by silky oak tannins.
The finish is both sticky and fruity. Decadent and delicious.
Details
Small Batch 177 has been crafted from a combination of spirit matured for eight years in first-fill ex-bourbon hogsheads, married with spirit matured for seven years in first-fill Caribbean rum barrels. The flavour of the resultant whisky is a triumph, combining the smooth sophistication of bourbon maturation with unique sweetness and depth from the rum casks. A release of 4,900 bottles.
