Nectar Grove 2023 is Wemyss Malts' fruit-driven Highland blended malt — using non-peated Highland malts specifically selected for their high ester (fruity) content, matured initially in refill bourbon casks then finished in Madeira wine casks. The result is a whisky designed to deliver maximum fruit and sweetness.
The ester-focused malt selection is the distinctive approach. By choosing malts with naturally high fruity ester content, then enhancing them with Madeira finishing, Wemyss creates a whisky that is almost overwhelmingly fruit-forward. The Mediterranean analogies — bakeries, fruit markets, pastéis de nata — are genuinely apt.
Nectar Grove 2023 is a well-made, fruit-forward Highland blended malt with a clear identity and genuine quality. The Wemyss name (the family behind Kingsbarns distillery) guarantees care and expertise, and the Madeira finishing adds a distinctive Portuguese warmth. A sweet, fruity dram for warm weather and dessert pairing.
