This third iteration of the legendary Velvet Fig, which was matured exclusively in six first-fill Sherry casks filled in 2012, underwent a five-month marrying period in Sherry-seasoned oak, which is said to have imparted a richer, more velvety flavour profile. #WemyssMalts #Scotch #Whisky

…matured in exceptional American oak ex-Bourbon barrels where the spirit has gently married with the oak for 25 years. That quarter-century has now passed with the years allowing these exceptional flavours to develop. #WemyssMalts #Scotch #Whisky

I’ve really been looking forward to this one. I always used to love pouring a drop of Ardmore’s old Traditional Cask into a glass that previously held Laphroaig 10 Year Old. Pure dramming harmony! Looking forward to seeing if and how the Laphroaig cask has influenced this one. #BraveNewSpirits
