Commenting on the latest batch of single casks, William Wemyss, Founder and Managing Director at Wemyss Malts, said: “Following the successes of our multiple single cask releases and the launch of our first Batch Strength blended malts in 2016, Wemyss Malts has entered 2017 in a very strong position which is reflected in our newest release of single cask whisky. Hand-picked from our cask stocks, our first 2017 release reflects the scope and variety of our maturing single cask whisky, from the fruity and oily “Spiced Apple Strudel” to the pair of Bunnahabhain casks “The Ship's Decanter” and “Scallop Divers Dram” which really demonstrate how diverse single cask whisky can be.”
The latest batch of Wemyss single cask releases, will be available later this month from specialist retailers. Each cask is limited to only a few hundred bottles with RRP’s ranging from £70 to £270.
