Distiller Notes
Perfectly sat in the middle of the sweetness scale is the balanced yet moreish flavor of honey and it is this flavor that we have masterfully created by carefully combining multiple Speyside single malts into one secret recipe. That slow drizzle of sticky blossom honey, zesty orange and ginger tingle on the tongue, and ending with warm clove spiked grapefruit.
Wemyss Malts prides itself on employing the Art of Blending to produce quality blended malts that draw from a huge variety, flavors and subtleties of Scottish single malt whisky to craft unique blends of superior quality and complexity. Rather than place the emphasis on the distilleries utilized in the blend, the whiskies are named after the natural tastes and aromas meticulously crafted by our blenders careful selection and blending of CORE and SIGNATURE malts.
Pronounced 'Weems'; the Scots language word for caves, the historic Scottish clan and family traces its roots from the ancient Kingdom of Fife in Scotland. For over six centuries, the ancestral home and seat of The Earl of Wemyss; Wemyss Castle has sat atop ancient caves that have been formed into the sea-battered cliffs.
For many centuries Scottish barley has been grown in the surrounding area of the Wemyss Castle, barley that would eventually be used for making of Scotch whisky.
The Wemyss family was noted in the developing history of the Scotch whisky industry during the 19th century when John Haig built his first distillery, Cameron Bridge, now the largest spirit producing distillery in Europe, on Wemyss family land.
Today, highly prized Scottish barley is grown by farmers on the Wemyss Estate and is used by many leading distillers to make their malt whisky. Founded by Williams Wemyss in 2005, he utilized his background expertise in premium French wine making and the family’s Scottish roots to begin exploring the blending of quality single malt whiskies.
