This whisky is around 16 years of age and clearly matured on a bourbon cask (if you judge by the color). Since the Wemyss team dubbed this one ‘A Peaty Punch!’ (including the exclamation point), I pre…

If the tasting panel of Wemyss, led by Charles McClean, comes up with a title like 'Martime Embrace', you can rest assured it will be a warm malt with loads of coastal elements, right? This Bunna is very…
