- Description
- This 2010 North British grain was distilled in Lowland Scotland and bottled by Wemyss Malts at 13 years old, revealing bright citrus notes and peppery spice that define what the bottler calls a vibrant character. Orange zest and warming ginger spice provide distinctive fruit-forward flavour unusual in grain whisky, likely from specific cask selection or maturation conditions. Best for those seeking grain whisky with pronounced character and aromatic brightness rather than typical creamy refinement.
