Wemyss Malts Debuts Latest Wave Of Single Malt Scotches

Wemyss Malts recently launched its latest wave of new rare single cask whiskies. These six expressions from the Wemyss Malt whisky range are named using the aromas and tastes of the whiskies to uniquely identify each bottling. 

This wave of releases is in a brand-new design, with each label color-coded to match the flavor category it falls under: Sweet, Spicy, Smoky, Rich, Light, and Oily. Each also includes a bespoke decanter bottle, ornately illustrated labels and a gift box.

“Winter is all about treasuring time with loved ones over the festive period, with this in mind our latest selection of single casks convey an assortment of fortifying and warming flavours,” William Wemyss, Founder and Managing Director at Wemyss Malts, said in a prepared statement. “With this assortment of single casks from the spritely and sweet ‘Ultimate Apple Pie’ to the incredibly decadent Glenrothes aptly named “Clove Studded Oranges” and the show stopping 30-year-old Blair Athol named “Jam on Toast” we truly have something to please all whisky fans.”
