Wolfburn King Charles III Coronation Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70cl, 57.8% ABV
Wolfburn King Charles III Coronation is an exclusive commemorative single malt released in May 2023 to celebrate the coronation of His Majesty. Limited to just 600 bottles, this unpeated expression was aged for over seven years in first-fill bourbon barrels and bottled at a natural cask strength of 57.8% ABV without chill-filtration or added color. Inspired by a private distillery tasting enjoyed by the King in 2019, it emulates his preferred flavor profile, opening with sweet aromas of spring blossoms, poached stone fruits, and biscuity malt. The rich palate presents layers of fruit cake, dates, dark chocolate, and warming spices like cardamom and cinnamon, leading to a long finish of creamy vanilla, maple, and toasted caramel.
Distillery Heritage
Wolfburn distillery, the most northerly on the Scottish mainland, is nestled in the town of Thurso. Founded in 1821 by William Smith, the original distillery operated for around 30 years before its closure. The current Wolfburn distillery, established in January 2013, stands just 350 metres from the ruins of its predecessor, continuing the legacy of exceptional whisky craftsmanship.
