This is Wolfburn where fortune favours the brave. Wolfburn hails from the most northerly town on the British mainland - Thurso, and our master craftsmen fashion their whisky the same way it has always been made: by hand, using only the finest ingredients, and without haste.

Wolfburn’s smooth and warming flavour stems from the unhurried way in which the spirit is made. Long fermentation is followed by gentle distillation, before the spirit is laid down in the best quality oak casks. Our warehouses are beautifully dark and cool, providing the perfect environment for the spirit to mature into world-class single malt whisky.

Wolfburn Distillery is a 2024 TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice Awards winner and is among the 'top 10% of things to do worldwide'!

We interviewed Mark Westmorland, Global Brand Ambassador at Wolfburn, in our October 2021 podcast.

Tours:

WOLFBURN CLASSIC DISTILLERY TOUR £18

At Wolfburn we don’t have a visitors centre so when you visit you’ll see the inner workings of the distillery itself, where our master craftsmen make single malt whisky the way it should be made: with care and without haste. Tours finish with a tasting of our various malts, and there’s the opportunity to buy bottles and Wolfburn merchandise.

The tour includes a tasting of five core whiskies at the end and each visitor will receive a free 'Perfect Dram' glass.

Timing: Mon-Fri 10am, 12pm and 2pm, Sat & Sun 10am & 12pm
