WEMYSS - Vintage Chesterfields - 30 ans - Millésime 1988 - Invergordon Single Grain - 56.22%
Wemyss Malts is an independant bottler from Scotland. It was founded in 2005 by brother and sister William and Isabella Wemyss. The family has direct links to Scotland’s whisky history, when Haig built the first distillery on their land in the Kingdom of Fife in 1840. The land has been used for many decades to grow quality barley and continues to supply the very best to maltsters for whisky production. Enthused by his time spent with the expert wine blenders in Southern France, William Wemyss was inspired to create distinctive and bold Scottish whiskies. Isabella Wemyss, with her eye, and nose, for uncompromising quality, began to source exquisite Single Malts from Scotland and the very best oak casks from around the world. The skills of their trusted blenders take these precious ingredients and craft them into new and flavourful creations.
The Single Cask Collection has been developped so that each cask chosen for bottling is representative of the best characteristics of that region and the name given to each whisky reflects the unique aromas and flavours found within the bottle.
Vintage Chesterfields was distilled in 1988 by Invergordon Distillery. The Invergordon Distillery was established in 1959 in the town of the same name in the Highlands. It is a Single Grain Whisky, which means it can only be made from four ingredients: water, malted barley, whole cereals and yeast. It was then matured for 30 years by the Wemyss family in Sherry casks (ex-Sherry butt). 501 bottles were produced.
