Wolfburn Sowilo - 70cl

Kylver 16 Single Malt Scotch Whisky, named Sowilo, is the peated release our longest-standing collectors asked for. Some of them have been with us since the very beginning. There are 730 individually numbered bottles, at 52% ABV. So we went looking. Deep in our Thurso warehouses we found three first-fill American oak bourbon casks from the early days of production, quietly doing what good casks do. The angels have taken their share. What remains has real depth: gentle peat, not confrontational, and sweet rather than loud. Sowilo is the sun rune of the Elder Futhark, linked with victory, vitality and the light that arrives when patience finally pays off. For a whisky that spent years in the dark waiting for the right moment, it fitted. On the nose Gentle peat smoke first, with sea air and smouldering driftwood. Then a little coastal salt, orchard fruit, vanilla pod and honeyed malt, with oak and fresh wood shavings underneath.
