Wolfburn Northland

Wolfburn is the most northerly whisky distillery on the Scottish mainland. Originally founded in 1821, it was one of the biggest in Scotland in its day. Today, Wolfburn has been re-awakened under the guiding hand of master distiller Shane Fraser and is once again making truly exceptional single malt scotch whisky. It’s all done the traditional way: by hand, using only the finest ingredients, and without haste. Wolfburn is located in Thurso, Caithness and the distillery still takes is water from the Wolf Burn nearby. The Burn (Scottish for stream) is named for the wolves which used to roam the northern Scottish countryside. The Wolfburn logo is taken from a 16th century drawing of a mythical Sea Wolf which supposedly “liveth both sea and land.” The Sea Wolf is also said to bring good luck to those fortunate enough to see it.
