Independent bottler Wemyss Malts is releasing three new blended malts to complement its
award winning range. Wemyss Malts – Batch Strength is a new range of blended malts that have
been blended from a selection of extraordinary casks of single malt whiskies from over 10 Scottish
distilleries, each utilising signature malts to define their flavour and aroma as the whisky names
suggests.
The first three Batch Strength blended malts have been assigned Batch no.001. The Hive Batch
Strength 001 – 54.5%alc./vol., Spice King Batch Strength 001 – 56.0%alc./vol. and Peat Chimney
Batch Strength 001 – 57.0%alc./vol. have each been bottled non chill-filtered and at the strength

delivers intensified aromas, mouthfeel and flavours due to the increased strength of alcohol by
volume.
