Loch Lomond The Open Special Edition 2023, Rioja Finish / 46%/ 0.7l
- In early 2018, Loch Lomond Distillery signed a five-year deal to become the "Spirit of the Open," taking over Glenmorangie's sponsorship.
Product description
Since 2018, the official spirit of the famous golf tournament The Open is the single malt Loch Lomond (previously it was Glenmorangie).
The 2023 commemorative edition presented here is another creation by Michael Henry, Loch Lomond Group blender, celebrating the 151st Open, hosted by Royal Liverpool Golf Club. The spirits used in this limited edition, distilled in both traditional and Lomond stills, were initially aged in American oak barrels before some were added to Rioja Alto Reserva wine barrels. The whisky was bottled at 46% abv, natural colour and unchill-filtered

Palate: chocolate raisins, vanilla, raspberries, strawberries, white pepper, cinnamon, cloves, notes of leather and oak.
Finish: medium long, with notes of red berries, vanilla, milk chocolate, pepper, cinnamon and a trace of smoke in the background.
