When you think of Scotland, I’m sure whisky is one of the first things that come to mind and then I’m sure tartan bagpipes and midges follow but what about Vikings? Vikings had a huge influence on Scotland, and still to this day we celebrate our connection to them and the shared history we have with them.

Even for me personally, my ancestors came along from Denmark hundreds of years ago, but why am I talking about Vikings in a whisky of the week? That is because this whisky from Wolfburn is called Langskip, which is one of the old Viking longboats, and well also because I like talking about Vikings. Wolfburn is one of the northernmost distilleries on mainland Scotland located all the way up in Thurso.
