57.9% | 70cl | Scotland (Speyside) | NCF | Single Malt | Single Cask (Hogshead) | High/Cask Strength

Indie bottler Wemyss Malts brings us this single cask single malt, distilled at Craigellachie in 2006. Matured in a hogshead, it was cracked open 15 years later, with a limited outturn of 229 bottles. Named ‘The Bon Viveur’, which might refer to a type of Scottish country dance, or a person who enjoys the finer things in life. Well, this whisky certainly has a spring in its step, expect candied citrus peel, and a touch of smoke.

Tasting Notes

NOSE: Candied citrus peel, orchard fruit and a delicate wisp of smoke.

PALATE: Zesty citrus, spiced oak and gentle smoke.

FINISH: Warming and lively, with lingering citrus peel and light smoke.
