Terrible nose, sulfur and sour old fruit. Body is the best of the Wolfburn lineup. The taste and finish is dominated by pepper. Very divisive, some could not forgive the nose but I liked the pepper notes. Best of Wolfburn but not a buy.

Nose: Heavy sherry notes, fig and sultanas. Oak and earthy vanilla. Palate: A burst of berry fruit sweetness, malty, dark chocolate. Finish: A gentle barrel spice, sultanas, white grapes.
This is by far the best Wolfburn, but not worth the $100. It might be ok for $50! Fruity interesting dram, the finish is medium, the complexity is low though
Dusty honey and earthy pear nose. Astringent at first. Simple syrup, canned peaches and dried figs. Finish is soft but drying. Flavors seem reserved.
Sherry, raisin and woodiness. Lovely spice and silkiness. Rich and sweet, but not in an overbearing way.
I enjoy sherry cast whisky but this was lacking. It was drinkable but it just wasent anything special
