Founded by William Wemyss in 2005, he utilised his background expertise in premium French wine making and the family’s Scottish roots to begin exploring the blending of quality single malt whiskies. Whisky, new make spirit, oak casks and mature whisky are expertly sourced by William’s sister, Isabella Wemyss, to produce superior, small-batch blended malt Scotch whiskies. Wemyss Malts takes a careful and focused approach to blending, using only a small selection of whisky from hand-picked casks to carefully craft distinctive and flavourful blended malt Scotch whiskies (previously known as ‘vatted or ‘pure’ malt Scotch whiskies). Wemyss Malts utilise core and signature malt whiskies from multiple Scottish regions. They source and mature whisky stock of varying ages for their recipes. This provides the blenders with a plethora of flavours that allow for the crafting of complex blended malt scotch whiskies. The aim is to always delight whisky drinkers with distinctly flavoured recipes whilst always striving for balance and smoothness.
Wemyss Darnley’s Spiced Navy Strength Gin
57.1% abv
Our Navy Strength edition of our award-winning Spiced Gin was inspired by the illustrious Royal Navy career of our ancestor Sir Rosslyn Wemyss, who commanded ships around the world and rose to the rank of Admiral of the Fleet. During his time at sea, ships’ officers still enjoyed a daily ration of gin which had to pass a gunpowder test to prove it was over 57% alcohol and therefore Navy Strength.
Using the same botanicals as Darnley’s Spiced Gin, we have added more juniper to our recipe and increased the proof to bring you a bold Navy Strength gin with intense warming spice flavour.
Nose: Clementine, nutmeg, spruce, cinnamon, freshly grated black pepper
Palate: Ginger, citrus with a sweet and fresh character
Nose: Ginger, cinnamon, rich fruit, milled pepper and orange rind mixes well with the spice.
