The Kylver Series, inspired by the runes of the Kylver Stone, This is the 8th edition. Each Kylver edition is matured in exceptional casks, sharing this commonality while remaining uniquely individual.

With seven years of maturation, this cask has transformed Wolfburn's characteristic smooth, sweet spirit into a whisky of remarkable depth and richness. Limited to 980 bottles, Kylver #8 continues Wolfburn's tradition of exceptional whisky craftsmanship
