WOLFBURN Morven Slightly Peated

Morven is a heavily peated expression elaborated by the Wolfburn distillery. The original distillery would have used both coal shipped into nearby wick, and locally cut peat from the surrounding country side for it’s maltings. No original Wolfburn still exists but to be true to the old distillery and the fuel it would have had available, the new distillery has used peated malt for the last few years for just six weeks a year. The first of that spirit matures this year and will be released under the name Morven. Morven is the highest mountain in Caithness and is surrounded by impenetrable peat bogs for many miles around where you can still see today channels in the peat all around left by the peat cutters as they dug peat by hand for hundreds of years. A lightly peated whisky.
