Lord Elcho Blended Whisky
Details
Lord Elcho is a release from Wemyss Malts.
Named after a brave spirit, David, Lord Elcho, the eldest son of the 5th Earl of Wemyss, one of the most celebrated supporters of Bonnie Prince Charlie during the ill-fated Jacobite Rebellion of 1745.
Blended to Perfection.
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.
Tasting notes -
Colour - Copper Gold
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.
