Wemyss Malts Heathery Smoke (distilled at Caol Ila) 30 year old, 46%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2013 ● Reviewer: Dave Broom ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
Sweet oak and cod liver oil are what greet you, with fleshy, lychee-like fruits
behind. The smoke here is very polite, giving way to fruit jelly cubes and
peaches, to develop alongside crisp apple. The palate is clean with nutty oak, with
the smoke continuing in the background, offering an extra layer of complexity.
Fresh, belying its age, while it has typical tongue-coating oiliness it remains
understated. Caol Ila basking in the summer sun. (U.S. only)
