Velvet Fig (Wemyss Malts) 70cl Whisky
Velvet Fig (Wemyss Malts)
Another ace blended malt from independent Wemyss Malts - Velvet Fig is made with a selection of single malts, all of which have aged entirely in Oloroso Sherry casks. As you can imagine, from both the name and the autumnal, slightly brooding hue, this is a rich, well Sherried dram, packed with fig, date and a hint of spice.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Plump dates, blackberry jam, very soft oak and maybe a hint of malt loaf.
Palate
Figs, dates, raisins, sultanas, in one lovely little package! Sprinkled with cinnamon, crushed walnuts and ginger, it's all a bit Christmassy, it is.
Finish
Ginger and fig last on the finish.
