55.7% | 70cl | Wemyss | Islay | Caol Ila | Independent Bottling | NCF | Limited Edition
To mark this leap year, Wemyss launched an expression that honours the passing of time. Crafted at Caol Ila distillery in 2007, this 16-year-old Single Cask Single Malt, bottled at cask strength, has been carefully aged in refilled ex-bourbon hogshead casks. The final product showcases subtle notes of maritime smoke, mild peat, and brown butter, culminating in a lingering finish.
Only 266 bottles exist globally.
