Description

David, Lord Elcho, the oldest of the children of the 5th Earl of Wemyss, was one of the greatest supporters of Prince Charles during the Jacobite revolt of 1745 and for his significant role he was crowned colonel among the Prince's guards; he remained with the latter until his defeat at the Battle of Culloden in 1746 and was then forced into exile in France. Lord Elcho Premium Blended Scotch Whiskey represents the strength and spirit of its namesake: smooth, rich and perfectly aged it is a noble whiskey with a noble heritage.

Perfume

Perfume

Fresh and pleasant. Remember green apple, grapes and pear. Warmer notes of freshly cut hay and fragrant eucalyptus aromas follow.

Color

Color

Gold bronze.

Taste

Taste

Full and delicate with hints of crunchy caramel. Notes of ginger syrup reveal a spicy character. It is pleasantly clean to the taste but when added to the water it develops its spicy side with notes of red fruits such as pomegranate. At the end it is dry and persistent, with fragments of crushed Brazilian walnut.

Serve at:

14 -16 °C.

Wemyss Malts
From this winery
The Wemyss family have had a longstanding passion for malt whisky and their connections with the industry date back to the turn of the 19th century when John Haig (founder of Haig's) built his first distillery on Wemyss land.

Wemyss Castle - historic home of the Wemyss familyEven today barley from the Wemyss Estate is prized by many of the leading distillers, and Cameron Bridge distillery is located just a few miles from the castle itself.

With this passion came the gradual realisation that, even for the knowledgeable consumer, much of the malt whisky terminology can be confusing. Our range of hand crafted malts was conceived with the aim of making them more accessible and understandable.

We use the taste and aromas of the individual whiskies to identify each bottling, rather than the distillery, so the consumer can more easily understand the style being purchased.
