Product description
Loch Lomond is probably Scotland's most unique distillery. Equipped with both traditional stills and Lomond stills, as well as column stills, it produces virtually every type of whisky.
The distillery was built by Littlemill Distillery Co. in 1964-1966, and since 2019 it has belonged to the Hillside Capital Management group based in Hong Kong. Loch Lomond Single Grain is rarely featured in independent publishers' offers, the 24 year old presented here is a proposal from Douglas Laing & Co. in the popular Old Particular series. The whisky, distilled in November 1995, spent almost a quarter of a century in a refill hogshead cask (no. DL 14015) and was bottled at 51.7% abv in April 2020. The edition consisted of 314 bottles.
Nose : sweet, delicately floral, vanilla cream, crème brûlée, milk fudge, cappuccino, milk chocolate, raisins, traces of potpourri and oak.
Taste: true to the aroma, vanilla marshmallow, toffee, brown sugar, maple syrup, baked apples, raisins, a hint of cocoa and toasted oak.
Finish : quite long, with notes of caramel, vanilla, buttered croissants, coconut flakes, hard candy and oak.
