There is a lot to like about Whisky Review: Wolfburn Morven on paper. At 46% ABV, let us see if it lives up to expectations.
Nose
The nose is faint, but I can pick up the distinctive whiff of peat smoke. Its carried on an airy, slightly briny whiff, with hints of citrus and oak wood.
Finish
The peat taste is present, but theres a very smooth feel to the whisky and only the barest hint of smoke. Without the strong smoke, I can pick out more of the floral and citrus flavors of the scotch. The combination is evocative of English breakfast tea. The peat is strongest in the finish, where the peat moss plays against a lingering taste of lemon candy.
The Bottom Line
Whisky Review: Wolfburn Morven is a perfectly respectable whiskey that does what it sets out to do. — it will not blow your mind, but it will not disappoint you either. A reliable choice.
