The WOLFBURN distillery is from Viking territory in the town of Thurso, situated in the historic county of Caithness, the most northern location on the Scottish mainland.

 Established in 1821, WOLFBURN eventually closed in 1860. Its successors built a new distillery in 2012, just 350 meters from the ruins of the old distillery. Their first new make spirit came off the stills in January of 2013, on Robbie Burns Day!
