TradeWight Whisky Signature Malt Blend
A new English whisky has landed at Master of Malt
Ever had whisky from the Isle of Wight? Created by an independent distillery helping to push English whisky into increasingly interesting territory.
Isle of Wight Signature Malt Blend
Wight Whisky Signature Malt Blend puts the distillery’s own Isle of Wight single malt at its heart, then blends it with hand-selected single malts from across the UK. The result is light, creamy and fruit-forward, with vanilla, honey, dried fruit, gentle oak and just a wisp of smoke.

Runny honey, lemon syrup and creamy porridge, with dried fruit and light oak underneath.
Palate:
Cereal sweetness and lemon barley sweets are joined by soft orchard fruit and a creamy texture.
Finish:
Smooth and honeyed, with lingering cereal, citrus and gentle oak.
