Its journey into the Wolfpack is as memorable as the whisky itself, acquired from a private owner and requiring nearly a year to retrieve from its long-forgotten resting place in Scotland. It’s the kind of cask that feels discovered rather than sourced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Speyside Distillery is often something of a mystery in the wider whisky landscape, but long ageing in refill wood like this allows the spirit to evolve with remarkable clarity. Rather than heavy oak influence, the whisky leans into fruit, texture, and gentle maturation, letting time do the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOn the nose, it opens with an explosion of tropical fruit - mango sherbet, guava, and passionfruit ice cream - layered with pink grapefruit, sweet oak, and a hint of stewed rhubarb. The palate follows in a similarly vibrant style, with mango, passionfruit, and citrus dominating, balanced by honey and a subtle flicker of mint that adds a surprising lift. The finish is medium in length but full of character, with passionfruit, honey, and citrus drifting in a relaxed, almost playful fade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBottled at 45.0% ABV, with natural colour and without chill filtration, this is a whisky that prioritises drinkability and balance over raw intensity. With an outturn of 263 bottles, it remains a limited release, one that combines maturity, individuality, and a sense of fun that’s very much in keeping with the Cut Your Wolf Loose style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA whisky with personality as well as pedigree - tropical, expressive, and just a little bit rebellious.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cut Your Wolf Loose","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56977542873463,"sku":"CYWL-SPY-28-450","price":119.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0428\/1722\/4864\/files\/cut-your-wolf-loose-speyside-distillery-28-year-old-1.png?v=1775305960","url":"https:\/\/topwhiskies.com\/products\/cut-your-wolf-loose-speyside-distillery-28-year-old","provider":"TopWhiskies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
