Wikipedia:
In 2012 a private consortium gained approval from the Caithness planning authorities to build a new Wolfburn distillery in Henderson Park, Thurso. The new distillery is situated approximately 350m from the site of the old one and will draw its water from the Wolf Burn (stream) from whence it gets its name. The reinvented Wolfburn site will consist of three buildings: the distillery itself and two warehouses for the laying down of casks. Local fabricators Forsyths have been contracted to install the distillery plant and equipment. Wolfburn will be the most northerly distillery on the Scottish mainland and will produce fine single malt Scotch whisky.
Production will commence in early 2013

At one end of the country, Thurso's Wolfburn distillery, which claims to be the most northerly on the Scottish mainland, is just weeks from starting production. Wolfburn has been in close contact with management at Pulteney Distillery in Wick, who are helping to get the business running. The two distilleries will be working together in Wolfburn’s first few years in various areas of business. It has also been announced that Wolfburn Distillery will be mentioned in the 2013 Malt Whisky Yearbook. Wolfburn Distillery was founded just to west of the town of Thurso, in 1821 by William Smith. The distillery was of considerable size for its day and ran as a successful commercial enterprise for several decades, being handed down through several generations of the Smith family. It is thought to have ceased production during the 1850s, although the exact date is a matter of debate. The distillery appears on the first Ordnance Survey map of the area, dated 1872, marked as a ruin. The reasons for its demise are unclear - very little remains of the original distillery and there are no known photographs. However, records of its annual production volumes of whisky can be found in tax returns, which show it producing 28,056 “Total Gallons of Proof Spirit” during 1826 (roughly 125,000 litres) – making it the biggest distillery in Caithness at the time. In 2012 a private consortium gained approval from the Caithness planning authorities to build a new Wolfburn distillery in Henderson Park, Thurso. The new distillery is situated approximately 350m from the site of the old one and will draw its water from the (Wolfburn stream) from whence it gets its name. The reinvented Wolfburn site will consist of three buildings: the distillery itself and two warehouses for the laying down of casks. Fabricators Forsyths have been contracted to install the distillery plant and equipment. Wolfburn will be the most northerly distillery on the Scottish mainland and will produce fine single malt Scotch whisky. Production will commence in early 2013.
