Caol Ila 1980 'The Admiral's Beacon' Wemyss Malts
Lot number: 112-05061
Winning bid: £400
Although William Wemyss originally worked in the wine business, the Wemyss family's connections with the whisky industry date back to the turn of the 19th century when John Haig (founder of Haig's) built his first distillery on Wemyss land. Their range was conceived with the aim of making whisky more accessible and understandable. They use the taste and aromas of the individual whiskies - rather than the distillery name - to identify each bottling so that the consumer can more easily recognise the style being purchased.
