Inspired by Broddy I sipped alongside an Ardmore and eventually a Lagavulin. It turned into a nice evening, with this 7yo showing hazelnut and honey sweetness and a richer note compared to the others. I pour another and things get fuller as the sourness subsides a little. In summary; lemons, apples and farmyard with a very soft smoke. Confidentially, I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed a whisky this young. Bruichladdich’s “PC” series grabbed my fancy from 2007-2014. PC6, PC7, and PC8 were quite good, although PC12 was a personal favorite. So you see, I’m not an ageist. Fiery young flames can be as satisfying as mature age statements. To my sense of decorum, however, there is a limit as to how young is acceptable. Seven years of age is usually the youngest I will go with a single malt, but there are always exceptions. How long until they are bought by a mega conglomerate and closed shortly thereafter during a downturn because of economic pressures? Or are they an independently-owned distillery that just can’t operate due to high consumable prices due to the inability to obtain bulk pricing for raw ingredients, barrels, or even bottles? How will we, as consumers, remember or discover the secrets of these closed distilleries? Fortunately for us, the products of these distilleries are relatively inert and shelf-stable, allowing us to preserve their time capsules for future study. We can observe them in their natural habitats today, storing away samples for comparisons against future quality or market conditions. Wolfburn are already carving a reputation out for themselves as new distillers to watch after just a few years. Their Aurora bottling is a combination of American oak casks and ex-sherry casks. A fruity, spicy treats from the Scottish Highlands.Appearance: Pale straw color with hasty, unrefined legs. The beading of this whisky is more encouraging. Even still, it lurks in my glass like some untamed elemental spirit. It’s a solid 6.5/10 whisky but I’ve done the honorary round-down of the score. It’s a fair price for a good whisky and is showing the excellent trajectory that Wolfburn’s spirits are on. Exciting things are coming from this remote distillery. Nose: The malt presence, again, is front and center with notes of buttery croissant, pineapple, honey dew melon, and horsehide leather.

Great body and weight on arrival, first few sips neat are gloopy; much to like. Things are hot and sour though, so pause and return.

Either of these releases are worth trying if you want to learn what high-quality, very young whisky tastes like. In fact, each of the bottles being reviewed today is as young as possible without being disqualified as a single malt Scotch. That’s right, in each case we’re talking about three years of age.
