Bottled by Wemyss Malts

Wemyss Malts is a family-owned Edinburgh whisky company, founded in 2005 by brother and sister William and Isabella Wemyss, that blends and bottles Scotch named by flavour rather than by distillery. The same family owns the Kingsbarns distillery in Fife.

The core range, The Hive and Peat Chimney, is blended malt bottled at 46% ABV without chill-filtration, and limited releases such as Nectar Grove are finished in wine casks. Single casks are named by flavour with the distillery stated. For the family’s own distillery, see Kingsbarns, and for context, Whiskipedia on independent bottlers.

5 full-size bottles (50cl to 1 litre) in stock, with the best current price from the UK retailers we check.

Are Wemyss Malts whiskies single malts?
Not the core range. The Hive and Peat Chimney are blended malt Scotch whisky, meaning single malts from more than one distillery with no grain whisky, bottled at 46% ABV without chill-filtration (producer shop; category defined in the Scotch Whisky Regulations 2009). Nectar Grove is also a blended malt, finished in ex-Madeira casks. The single-cask releases are single malts or single grains named by flavour: each label states the distillery and the number of bottles from the cask (kingsbarnsdistillery.com).
