Scotch whisky brands launch new single malt collections

Wemyss Malts, based in Edinburgh, has announced the launch of The Castle Collection, a new series of independently bottled, age-stated single malt Scotch whiskies. The inaugural release is the Glenglassaugh 10 Year Old, a single malt matured in ex-Sherry casks. The collection, named after the historic Wemyss Castle in Fife, features spirits that are often acquired as new make and matured under the stewardship of Wemyss Malts to ensure quality.

Separately, Teacher’s is expanding its portfolio by launching its first range of Highland single malts. Distilled and matured at The Ardmore Distillery, the new range includes three expressions: a 12-Year-Old matured in ex-bourbon casks, a 15-Year-Old also matured in ex-bourbon casks, and an 18-Year-Old finished in Oloroso sherry casks. These bottlings aim to showcase the brand’s signature malt character in a standalone format.
