Wolfburn Kylver Series No 01 (Fehu)

From about 850 AD until 1266 AD, the Vikings ruled over the area of Caithness (where the Wolfburn distillery is located today) and brought their runic alphabets with them. The oldest form of these, known as Elder Futhark, is documented on a large runestone excavated in Sweden in 1903. This exceptional stone was named the Kylver Stone after the farm where it was found. In 2016, Wolfburn launched The Kylver Series to honour this part in the history of their home. The first whisky in the series matured in bourbon barrels for three years, and saw a limited release of just 1200 bottles. Wolfburn Kylver Series No. 1 is dedicated to the first symbol in the Futhark alphabet, fehu. It represents the f and v-sound, and its name means ‘cattle’ or ‘wealth’.
