Wolfburn Langskip

Nose

The first impression: surprisingly smooth for the cask strength. An aroma unfolds that combines maritime freshness with dessert notes. The salty breeze of a coastal whisky meets crème brûlée, salted caramel and apple crumble. Vanilla custard dances in the background with a light malt note and a hint of honey - a real dessert for the nose. No alcoholic sting despite the strength - just multi-layered, balanced flavours.

Taste

The flavour of the Wolfburn Langskip is like an unadorned summer whisky at cask strength: creamy, dry, honest and very sweet. The first impression is of hay, almonds and a clear cereal note. Then banana, papaya and pineapple come to the fore - tropical fruits in the cask strength version. The texture is thick, almost oily, with a real tang. White pepper adds the necessary spice to the sweet profile.

Finish

The finish is pleasantly warming, sweet and medium-long - without becoming bitter. Light oak notes provide structure without dominating. The finish is reminiscent of melted sugar with a hint of malt - pleasantly round and accessible.
