There’s a quiet confidence to Aurora, like the subtle glow of its namesake in the Caithness sky. This is sherry matured Highland whisky done the Wolfburn way: balanced, natural, and with just enough drama to keep you coming back. No flash, just finesse.

Wolfburn Aurora Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Brand: Wolfburn | Category: Highland Single Malt | ABV: 46% | Origin: Thurso, Scotland | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile
Nose: A soft burst of dried fruit, chocolate, and red apples, backed by toasted oak and a touch of fresh sea breeze.
Palate: Silky and round. Flavors of toffee, spiced plum, roasted nuts, and light malt glide effortlessly across the tongue.
Finish: Gently warming, a fade of cinnamon, sherry richness, and a flicker of Highland smoke.

Production Details
Aurora is matured in a combination of American oak, first-fill bourbon, and Oloroso sherry casks. That trio gives it structure, softness, and a layer of fruit that’s never overpowering. Non chill filtered, no added color, it’s whisky built with integrity, not shortcuts.

Perfect For
Evenings that call for something rich but not heavy. Aurora pairs beautifully with mellow jazz, candlelight, or a quiet dessert course with close friends.

Expert Notes
Critics have called it one of the most balanced sherry influenced Highland malts under the radar. Aurora’s strength lies in restraint, it brings sweetness and spice, but never sacrifices clarity.

Customer Reviews
🗨 “Like sipping toffee and spice on a rainy night, warm and comforting.”
🗨 “Great everyday dram with just enough sherry depth to stay interesting.”
🗨 “If Glenfarclas and Old Pulteney had a love child… this might be it.”

Interesting Fact
Despite being a young distillery, Wolfburn’s Aurora consistently holds its own in blind tastings against older, more established sherried malts, a testament to their slow distillation and careful cask selection.

Serving Suggestions
Best neat in a Glencairn, or with a few drops of water to lift the fruit and chocolate notes. Pairs exceptionally well with almond tarts, roasted nuts, or even a touch of salted caramel.

Distillery Background
Wolfburn was revived in 2013 just meters from its 19th-century namesake. Based in Thurso, where land meets sea in Scotland’s far north, it remains fiercely independent, producing whiskies by hand, in small batches, with a deep respect for tradition and terroir.
