Wemyss Malts have debuted a new Single Cask range featuring 19 single cask whiskies, hand selected by distilleries and collectors across Scotland. Each cask made between 50 and 700 bottles.
“This collection celebrates the exceptional whisky distilleries based across Scotland and it’s a privilege to be able to bring these special whiskies to market,” says Isabella Wemyss, Director of Production. “The taste, experience and emotion conjured by each drink has been our absolute focus, creating accessible and unpretentious whiskies to encourage the adventurous exploration of flavour. As a brand we’re constantly experimenting and discovering, it’s been a really exciting time to bring together components from dozens of distilleries and create a bespoke range crafted to suit each taste whether that is sweet, complexly spicy or gently smoky.”
Nine casks will be market exclusive, including Supper Club, a 28-year-old Mortlach Cask. These nine casks will only be available to Wemyss Malts Cask Club members. Other expressions in the range include the 29-year-old After Derby Day–the oldest release in the collection–and Carriages at Midnight. Each Scotch’s name is a creative description of the aromas and tastes found inside each individual bottling.
“Single cask whisky is unique in that it is a snapshot of the distillery on one day of production and the type of cask that has been matured in – allowing for the crafting of complex and signature flavours,” states the founder of Wemyss Malts, William Wemyss. “The release size means there will be ample different flavour profiles for all palates to enjoy – with the maturing age ranging from 13 years through to 29.”
Wemyss Malts will also release a Whiskey Villanelle to appeal to a non-drinking audience as well as to further celebrate the release of this exclusive collection.
