Autumn Harvest is a series of twelve single cask whiskies ranging from 14 to 27-years-old

The releases have been given descriptive names by the Wemyss tasting pane, based on the aromas and flavours associated with “a harvest festival or a “pantry of autumnal fare”.

Certified by whisky writer and Master of the Quaich, Charlie Maclean, each cask is limited to a few hundred bottles.
