Winning bid: £100

Wolfburn (of Thurso) has recently wrestled the title of Scotland's most northerly mainland distillery from Old Pulteney, the Wick-based maritime malt masters. Having only gained approval for the new distillery - which lies a short distance from the old one, but draws its water from the same "Wolf Burn" - in 2012, the owners managed to produce the first spirit in early 2013. Very early on in the distillery's formation, the company cleverly hired Shane Fraser who was formerly manager of Glenfarclas.

Crafted for Alexander Weine & Destillate to celebrate the life and works of Conrad Gessner, the 16th Century physician, philosopher and zoologist. The Wolfburn wolf logo is based on a Gessner woodcut which appeared in the 17th Century publication "History of Four-footed Beasts and Serpents".

55% ABV / 70cl
