Wemyss Malts A Day at the Coast 14 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

With its Single Cask line, Wemyss Malts moved well beyond the usual purview of the artisanal whiskey-maker. Companies like Wemyss are not distilleries, and therefore do not make their own whiskey. Instead, they select and purchase premium whiskey from the distilleries, and use these to make their own blends for sale. Since the core of what a “negociant” like Wemyss does is blended whiskey of one type or another, the idea of bottling a Single Cask line is two full steps beyond the norm, and the 14 Year Old Highland scotch is the youngest expression in that line.

Wemyss Malts A Day at the Coast 14 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky Tasting Notes

Nose: Nose starts by imparting the crisp scent of sea spray. Underneath that is the vibrant sweetness of apples, along with some low-lying musty and woody notes.

Palate: On the palate, with the wood supplanting the salty sea breeze, but mixing well with a foundation of vanilla and apple pie sweetness. The scotch also carries notes of peatiness, and has a noticeable, but not overpowering spicy bite to it, producing a flavor that is well-balanced.

Finish: The finish is warm and has an earthy, musty aftertaste, and carries for a middling length of time.

Distillery Information

The original Clynelish distillery was founded in the village of Brora in 1819 by the Marquess of Stafford, notorious for his role in the Highland Clearances. It was subsequently rebuilt on a new site across the road in 1968, and the original Clyenlish distillery was renamed as the Brora distillery. The new Clynelish distillery building was designed following the blueprint of the Caol Ila distillery on Islay.
