WEMYSS - Velvet Fig - Blended Malt - 46%
Wemyss Malts (pronounced "Weyms' Malts") is a renowned independent bottler from Scotland, recognized for its expertise in exceptional whiskies. Founded in 2005 by enthusiasts William and Isabella Wemyss, this family business draws its roots from the prestigious history of Scottish whisky. Indeed, the Wemyss family has been historically linked to whisky development since the Haig distillery was established on their lands in the famous Kingdom of Fife as early as 1840. These lands, used for decades to grow high-quality barley, continue to supply the best ingredients to maltsters for creating the finest whiskies. Drawing on his experience with master wine blenders in southern France, William Wemyss was inspired to craft unique, bold, and character-rich Scottish whiskies. Isabella Wemyss, with her expert palate and nose, carefully selects Single Malts from Scotland as well as the best casks from around the world. Together, with the support of their trusted Master Blender, they combine these precious ingredients to create innovative, refined, and flavorful blends that captivate the most discerning enthusiasts.
Velvet Fig is an exclusive blend composed of 6 Oloroso Sherry hogshead casks of Scotch Single Malt (45%) and 4 Oloroso Sherry Butt casks of Scotch Single Malt (55%). This subtle blend offers a perfect balance between sweetness, fruity richness, and aromatic depth, characteristic of high-quality sherry cask finishes.
