Introducing Lord Elcho – Wemyss Blended Scotch Whisky News
Blended Scotch Whisky
Lord Elcho
Bottled at 40% alcohol by volume and crafted from a carefully chosen selection of the finest malt and grain whiskies (minimum 40% malt content) Lord Elcho is truly a noble whisky with a noble heritage. Packed with more whiskies than most blends, this expression is a complex curation of flavour with a greater depth than most anything you can find on the shelf. Lord Elcho also comes as a 15 year old version, showing what maturation can do to the liquid.
Lord Elcho – Blended Scotch Whisky (70cl)
Nose Fresh and lively. A fruit salad of green apple, grape and pear. Warmer notes of freshly cut hay follow. Fragrant eucalyptus infused wood shavings.
Palate Full and soft with waves of chewy caramel. A hint of ginger syrup reveals a warming spiciness. Lovely neat, but water develops the spiciness with notes of red fruits like pomegranate.
Finish Dry and long. Crushed brazil nuts.
Lord Elcho 15 YO – Blended Scotch Whisky (70cl)
Nose Rich and warming with subtle hints of sweet spice and sandalwood.
Palate Mouth-coating, robust and smoothj with luscious spiced fruits and cloves.
Finish Long and luxurious.
“A smooth, slightly gingery blend with a noticeable sherry cask influence. For a foray into blending, they’ve set the bar pretty high.”
