Wemyss Smoke Bluff 12 Single Cask

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Wemyss Malts

ABV: 46%

Score: 84 Points

This Islay single malt spent 12 years in a refill bourbon cask, and the nose is classic Islay with notes of tar, creosote, dried leaves, and a slight nuttiness. The taste is thick, oily, and peppery with cinnamon notes and an understated peat that develops slowly. The finish is soft and smoky.
