Product description
Loch Lomond is the only Scottish distillery producing both malt distillate (approximately 5 million litres per year) and grain distillate (approximately 18 million litres per year) in the same building.
It is equipped with one pair of traditional stills, two pairs of Lomond stills and a pair of continuous distillation columns. The distillery's so-called brand portfolio lists eight single malts, most of which are intended for creating your own blends. The official editions of the Old Rhosdhu single malt can be counted on the fingers of one hand, and all of them come from the last century. Here we present one of the first batches of this whisky, distilled in 1967 in a Lomond still and bottled in December 1996.

Taste : fruity and grassy, mango, pineapples, peaches, lemongrass, white pepper, fresh walnuts, herbal blend, a pinch of spices and a trace of eucalyptus.
Finish : medium long, spicy and herbal, with a delicate fruity and oak note.
