Wemyss Malt Caribbean Crème (distilled at Invergordon) 1988, 46%
Price: ● Issue: Summer 2015 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Single Grain Scotch
A divine, lilting nose of exotic summery fruits that brings a smile to your face. Split papaya, fleshy mango, and candied peel join freshly squeezed OJ and sugar-dusted marshmallows. The thick, syrupy texture fizzes attractively on the palate with flavors of warm marmalade on buttered granary toast. After some mid-palate heat, there is flavored sherbet candy, mint, and burnt orange on the finish. Fruity, but happily not sugary sweet like some grains. (171 bottles for Europe and Asia)£85
