Why We Choose Our Own Casks –
Education Series – Part 2
We are proud to unveil the second part of our Wemyss Malts Education Series: Why We Choose Our Own Casks. Our Production Director, Isabella Wemyss, believes in crafting whiskies that stand out for their consistency and quality. It’s not just about the spirit; it’s about the cask and wood type it matures in.
In part 2 of our Education Series, Isabella explains why selecting the perfect casks is integral to our process. Each whisky’s flavour is a result of the intricate dance between the spirit and the cask it calls home. That’s why we match cask types to flavour profiles, ensuring each component is in harmony.
Every cask has its own unique character, influenced by the wood itself, chemical reactions, and its history. Whether it’s the sweetness of a first-fill bourbon cask or the subtlety of a refill cask, each choice is deliberate, aimed at achieving the perfect balance.
