Wemyss Malts new Single Cask releases

Wemyss Single Casks Group July 2014 lo

Edinburgh based boutique Spirits Company Wemyss Malts is delighted to announce the release of a new parcel 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.

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, Single Grain – £80

“Loch Indaal Catch” – 1982 single cask from Bowmore, Islay – £700
“Oysters with Lemon Pearls” – 1991 single cask from Bunnahabhain, Islay – £94

“Aromatic Orange Tobacco” – 1988 single cask from Glenrothes, Speyside – £114
“Melon Vine” – 1994 single cask from Aberfeldy, Highlands – £94

“At Anchor in a Cove” – 1991 single cask from Glen Scotia, Campbeltown – £74

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.”
