Wemyss Malts unveils its ‘most valuable’ whisky

Scottish spirits company Wemyss Malts has released a new selection of single cask Scotch whiskies, including the “most valuable” bottling the brand has ever produced.

Wemyss Malts has unveiled its latest collection on single cask Scotch whiskies

Similar to the brand’s previous selection of single cask whiskies, this latest lineup is described as a “celebration” of four Scotch whisky regions: Islay, the Highlands, Speyside and Campbeltown.

The collection includes a single grain, single cask whisky from Invergordon and the “most valuable” bottling released by Wemyss – a 1982 single cask from Bowmore costing up to £700.

Each bottle in the new collection has been named after their flavours and aromas by the Wemyss tasting panel chaired by Charlie Maclean.

The range consists of: Lemon Cheesecake, a 1988 single cask, single grain whisky from Invergordoh; Loch Indaal Catch, a 1982 single cask from Bowmore, Islay; Oysters with Lemon Pearls, a 1991 single cask from Bunnahabhain, Islay; Aromatic Orange Tobacco, a 1988 single cask from Glenrothes, Speyside; Melon Vine, a 1994 single cask from Aberfeldy, Highlands; and At Anchor in a Cove, a 1991 single cask from Glen Scotia, Campbeltown.

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.

Wemyss Malts also recently announced its expansion of its premium blended Scotch portfolio with the release of no-age-statement, Lord Elcho.
