As we gather to celebrate the longest day – midsummer, Independent bottler Wemyss Malts releases a gathering of nine new single cask whiskies ranging from 18 to 27 years old.

William Wemyss, Founder and Managing Director at Wemyss Malts, commented: “As there are more hours of daylight today, we've released a larger batch of nine single casks to provide an opulent choice of drams to enjoy through the long evening light. From the topical "Summer Breeze" and "Fields of Barley" to "Arbor in Bloom" and "Banquet of Fruits", all are ideal for joining in with the midsummer revelries.”
