Kilchoman & Wolfburn Minis 4 x 5cl
Lot number: 096-01749
Winning bid: £30
Kilchoman
Kilchoman, which came online in 2005, was the first distillery to be built on Islay for 124 years - and it has garnered a sterling reputation in its short life span. With everything being carried out on site, from floor maltings, distilling and maturation to bottling, it is now one of the largest private employers on Islay.
46% ABV / 5cl x 2
Wolfburn
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.
46% ABV / 5cl x 2
