Located in Thurso, William Smith founded Wolfburn Distillery in 1821. He built it near the Wolf Burn (a small stream), which provided the water source for whisky production. During its early years, the distillery produced a significant amount of whisky. By the mid-19th century, it was one of the largest distilleries in Caithness. Unfortunately, like many distilleries of the time, Wolfburn ceased operations towards the end of the 19th century, and by the 1860s, it had fallen into disuse.
The revival of Wolfburn Distillery began in 2012, nearly 150 years after its closure. The new distillery was constructed not far from the original site, on the outskirts of Thurso. Although designed with modern equipment, the updated buildings still retained traditional methods of whisky production. In 2016, Wolfburn released its first whisky from the new distillery.
Pentland is a premium Scotch Whisky Liqueur, created by Wolfburn Distillery. Made using aged Single Malt Scotch Whisky and all-natural ingredients, this is a smooth, sweet and gently spiced liqueur.
Official Tasting Notes
Nose - Sweet bourbon notes overlaid with caramel, toffee and pistachio.
Palate - You’ll pick up soft nectrous and floral tones, all overlaid with a beautiful, decadent, creamy sweetness.
Finish - It’s oh-so-sweet, with autumn fruits and vanilla gently fading away.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
