Ab sofort im Onlineshop der Destillerie und in Thurso bei Wolfburn vor Ort erhältlich ist die 16. Ausgabe der Kylver Serie, Wolfburn Sowilo – im alten Runenalphabet steht das Zeichen für die Sonne. Diesmal ist es ein leicht getorfter Wolfburn aus drei Fässern, und das auf Wunsch der Fanbase der Brennerei:
Some of Wolfburn’s longest-standing collectors, people who’ve been with us since the very beginning, asked for something peated. So we went looking. Deep in our Thurso warehouses, we found three bourbon casks from the early days of production: first-fill American oak, quietly doing what good casks do, for the better part of a decade and more.

What came out was worth the wait.
The angels have taken their share; that’s what time and Caithness air will do, but what remains is something with genuine depth. Gentle peat, not confrontational. Sweet and smooth rather than loud. Bold enough to be interesting, balanced enough to stay with you.
730 bottles, individually numbered. Non-chill filtered. Natural colour. Sowilo is the sun rune of the Elder Futhark alphabet, associated with victory, vitality, and the particular quality of light that arrives when patience finally pays off. For a whisky that’s spent years in the dark waiting for the right moment, it felt like the right name.
Die Tasting Notes des mit 53% vol. Alkoholstärke abgefüllten Wolfburn Sowilo lesen sich wie folgt:
ON THE NOSE
Gentle peat smoke rises first, carrying hints of sea air and smouldering driftwood. A touch of coastal salinity mingles with notes of orchard fruit, vanilla pod and honeyed malt, while subtle oak and freshly cut wood shavings add depth and character.
ON THE PALATE
Soft floral notes lead the way before giving way to sweet raisins, ripe pear and delicate citrus. Layers of creamy malt and vanilla develop across the palate, complemented by light spices of white pepper and nutmeg. A gentle honey sweetness emerges towards the end, balancing the whisky’s elegant smoky character.
FINISH
The finish is long, smooth and warming, with lingering notes of soft peat smoke, toasted oak and sweet malt. A delicate maritime freshness remains on the palate, inviting the next sip.
