# Blended Malt Scotch Whiskeys These Whiskeys are Inspired By Western Scottish Whisky Culture By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2022-01-19 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/malt-scotch-whiskey References: [thewhiskeywash](https://thewhiskeywash.com/whiskey-styles/scotch-whiskey/caisteal-chamuis-debuts-with-two-blended-malts/) & [mossburnwhisky](https://mossburnwhisky.com/)  [Mossburn](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mossburn-signature-casks-series), a relatively young but objectively innovative company that specializes in the distilling and blending of fine whiskies, has launched a new range of malt scotch whiskeys that aim to pay homage to Scotland's Western Isles. The Caisteal Chamuis 12 Year Old Blended and Caisteal Chamuis Blended Malt Scotch Whisky are both byproducts of a blending process that sources fine peated Single Malts distilled on the Scottish islands. The whiskeys are double barreled in order to allow them to develop a complexity in flavor and an overarching character that is reminiscent of spice and oak. Available for approximately $66 and $53 respectively, the 12 Year Old Blended Malt Scotch Whisky and Blended Malt Scotch Whisky offerings will appeal to scotch connoisseurs looking to engage with one of the newer generations of whisky experiences.
