It was found in Sweden in 1903, during the excavation of a cemetery near a farm. When the Vikings ruled over certain parts of Scotland during the Middle Ages, they brought this runic alphabet with them. The town of Thurso in Caithness was founded by the Vikings in this era, originally serving as an important Norse port. The Thurso-based Wolfburn distillery, revived in 2013, launched The Kylver Series to honour this part in the history of their home. Wolfburn Kylver Series No. 2 was released in May 2017. The whisky was drawn from just three casks: two ex-bourbon barrels and a second-fill ex-Oloroso sherry butt, yielding a total of 1450 bottles. The second symbol in the Futhark alphabet is uruz, and represents the u-sound. Its name means ‘water’ or ‘wild ox’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWolfburn (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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Wolfburn \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSituated on Scotland’s rugged north coast, the Wolfburn distillery was first established in 1821, rapidly becoming the largest distillery in the Caithness area. The purchase of the land was finalised in May 2012 and the first ground was broken on the new site just a few months later. The new Wolfburn distillery building is just a short walk along the burn from the old site towards the sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Flow Country covers much of Caithness and has done so since the end of the last ice age. It is an ancient and almost unique environment, the largest expanse of blanket peat bog in Europe, perhaps the entire world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday Wolfburn’s distillers fashion their whisky the same way it was always made, by hand, using only the finest ingredients, and without haste.
