WEMYSS MALTS LAUNCH LATEST BATCH OF SINGLE CASK RELEASES

Edinburgh based boutique spirits company Wemyss Malts has today announced the release of their latest batch of single cask Scotch whiskies. 

The latest release includes a single grain single cask whisky for the first time and the most valuable whisky Wemyss has ever released in a 31 years old single cask from Bowmore distillery.

The six latest Single Cask releases from Wemyss Malts

Each cask is a celebration of the unique and contrasting appeals of the different Scotch whisky regions and the latest release covers grain whisky and four of the regions: from Islay, Highlands, Speyside and Campbeltown.  Wemyss whiskies are each named after their natural taste and aroma and the full cask list of this release comprises:

Lemon Cheesecake -  1988 single cask from Invergordon

Loch Indaal Catch - 1982 single cask from Bowmore

Oysters with Lemon Pearls - 1991 single cask from Bunnahabhain           

Aromatic Orange Tobacco - 1988 single cask from Glenrothes

Melon Vine - 1994 single cask from Aberfeldy

At Anchor in a Cove - 1991 single cask from Glen Scotia

Each cask has been selected and named by the Wemyss tasting panel, under the watchful eye of industry aficionado Charlie Maclean.   There are only a few hundred bottles from each cask and the suggested retail prices range from £80 to £700. These bottlings will be available in selected retailers in the UK, EU and key Asian markets.

William Wemyss, Founder and Managing Director at Wemyss Malts, commented: “We are delighted to continue to offer a range of single casks to include some exceptional rare whiskies.  This latest release includes our first ever single grain single cask and a very old and valuable Bowmore."
