Wemyss “A Matter of Smoke” 15 year old, 46%

Price: 130.00 Issue: Fall 2012 Reviewer: John Hansell Category: Single Malt Scotch

Peat smoke indeed, and it dovetails nicely with light toffee, vanilla, anise, charred oak, blackberry, seaweed, kalamata olive, brine, and peppercorn. Well balanced from start to lingering smoke finish, and very exciting. (Exclusive to the U.S.)
