Wemyss Peat Chimney Batch Strength No.2 (Limited Edition) 70cl
Brand: Wemyss Malts | Category: Blended Malt Scotch Whisky | ABV: 57% | Origin: Scotland | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile
Nose: Thick and smoky from the first swirl, charcoal, smoked fish, iodine, and sweet hay layered with citrus peel and driftwood.
Palate: Explosive and oily. Smoked malt, black pepper, lemon zest, and dried seaweed surge forward, rounded by hints of honey and oak.
Finish: Long and punchy. Ashy peat fades into sea salt, clove, and toasted spice. A fire that refuses to die down.

Production Details
