Wolfburn - Wunjo - The Kylver Series no. 8 - Original bottling - 70cl

The Wolfburn The Kylver Series VIII is the eighth bottling in The Kylver Series from Wolfburn. Age 6 years, Oloroso Sherry Hogsheads, distilled in 2014. Cask numbers 416, 465 & 577.
Shortly after the very first bottling in 2016, Wolfburn was invited to make a whiskey for the Caithness Viking Festival. Elements of the Viking runic alphabet were incorporated into the label design, which in turn gave rise to the idea of ​​creating a series of collectible bottles, echoing the runes of the Kylver Stone.
Each edition in the Kylver series is unique, but they all share the common theme of being aged in exceptional barrels. The only 980 bottles of Kylver #8 are the product of one cask: an Oloroso sherry methuselah we put down in 2013 (cask number 745). Over the ensuing seven years, this large cask has done a fantastic job of converting Wolfburn's signature mellow, sweet spirit into a gloriously deep, rich whisky.
Nose:
dried fruit leads the way, followed by hints of malt, all topped with rich syrup and caramel notes.

Taste:
soft notes of raisins, dates and blackberries are accompanied by dark chocolate and hazelnut. The sherry gives a subtle warmth and soft hints of vanilla and soft spices.

Aftertaste:
sweet caramel is accompanied by delicate floral notes, which gently fade. At the end, a trail of heather honey is found.

Shipping costs include packaging materials to ensure optimal delivery.
