Wemyss Malts has released a new range of blended Scotch malt whiskies that have been produced from the family’s private collection of maturing whisky casks.
The first two releases of the Wemyss Family Collection range represent two opposite whisky styles: bourbon cask matured and sherry cask matured. The vanilla burst variant is a blend of two speyside single malts with a light and fruity character. Meanwhile treacle chest is a blend of two Highland single malts and is said to have a sweet, cereal character.
Both blended malts are non chill-filtered and are 46% ABV. They are presented in screen-printed 70cl bottles with a charcoal and copper detailed gift carton.
Founder of Wemyss Malts, William Wemyss, said: “It is with great anticipation and excitement that we release to the drinks enthusiast and whisky community the first two Wemyss Family Collection bottlings. We are very proud of the quality of these two blended malts and look forward to seeing how future yearly releases will compare.”
Director of production Isabella Wemyss added: “Great effort and time has been taken to ensure the Wemyss Family Collection will be remarkable blended malts, from the very first steps of selecting the spirit and sourcing exceptional casks from around the world, to selecting and blending the mature casks under the supervision of leading industry professionals.”
The new varieties are available from selected retailers in the UK, EU and key Asian markets with suggested retail prices of £43 and £47.
