Customer Reviews

Interesting Fact
The name “Blooming Gorse” was chosen during a family nosing session, each bottle in the Wemyss range is named after the dominant aroma or feeling it evokes, making every release personal and poetic.

Serving Suggestions
Try it neat in a tulip glass to capture its full bouquet. If you're sipping outdoors, a single ice cube opens up more citrus and floral notes without muting the gentler layers.
