Wolfburn appoints Maverick as UK distributor
Historical single malt Scotch whisky producer Wolfburn Distillery has appointed Maverick Drinks as its UK distributor.
The Wolfburn Distillery is the most northerly on the Scottish mainland and dates back to 1821. In its day was one of the largest distilleries in Scotland.
It closed in the late 1800s, but plans were submitted in 2011 to build a new distillery close to the original site. Construction got under way in 2012, with production starting in 2013.
Today, the Wolfburn Distillery produces two signature single malt expressions, Northland and Aurora, which are priced at £49.95 (US$63) and will be distributed in the UK by Maverick Drinks.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to represent Wolfburn in the UK,” said Michael Vachon, Maverick Drinks’ head of brand development.
“Wolfburn has everything we look for in a brand: extraordinary quality, great design, and amazing people. Shane [Fraser, Wolfburn’s distillery manager] and his team have a burgeoning reputation for making some of the best whisky in the world and I know we’re going to have a great time working together.”
Fraser added: “We’re hugely proud of our hand-crafted whiskies so it makes a lot of sense to team up with Maverick Drinks, as they’re at the forefront of the spirits revolution in the UK with a genuine focus on craftsmanship and quality.”
Maverick Drinks is part of the Atom Supplies group and represents brands including Ableforth’s, Few Spirits, St George Spirits, and That Boutique-y Whisky and Gin Company.
