Product description
A satisfying and subtly peated single malt scotch whisky from loch lomond. The distillery is renowned for being able to produce a multitude of whisky styles, including single malt, single grain and blends. Versatile and talented, those loch lomond distillers.
The Loch Lomond story is captured in my post on Loch Lomond Signature as well as on Loch Lomond Single Grain. It is a very versatile distillery; producing both malt and grain whisky and they have a big brand portfolio. From their range, I prefer the Glen Scotia releases. In the future, I hope to try some of the other brands within their portfolio.
The Loch Lomond Original whisky is a peated single malt aged in American oak and has no age statement.
COLOUR: Golden with green hints.
NOSE: Caramel, tropical fruit and toasted oak. There is a fresh green note to the nose like fresh-cut hay and green grass. Soft peaty hints with bits of roasted nuts and cereal.
PALATE: Green notes mixed with honey sweetness and vanilla. Green grass and fresh herbs mixed with fruity notes. Cereal and hints of bitter chocolate mixed with pepper and ginger and in the background delicate peat and smoke. A bit of an alcohol burn. It needs some water to soften the heat and water brings more nuttiness, and lemon pepper balanced with caramel sweetness. However, the water softens the peat and smoke. Not very complex.
FINISH: Short finish ending in pepper and lemon peel.
History
Loch Lomond is one of those signature places in Scotland that is revered the world over by iconic creatives, poets, and artists. Boasting the largest lake in Great Britain, this impressive national park is brimming with beauty and natural elegance. The Loch Lomond distillery gets its distinction from being one of the few distilleries in Scotland to produce both grain and malt spirit. Specializing in grain whisky, their grain crop became quite pervasive.
Loch Lomond was built in 1966, riding the wave of a distillery industry boom. The venture was a collaboration between American Duncan Thomas and Chicago-based Barton Brands. After changing hands num proud times, Loch Lomond grew substantially into one of the most innovative resourceful distilleries in all of Scotland. They began producing a wide range of whiskies under several labels. Loch Lomond is now owned by Diageo.
Loch Lomond whiskies are characterized by their mellow, gentle characteristics. This elegant single grain Loch Lomond is distilled in a Coffey still and aged in ex-bourbon casks. Crafted entirely from malted barley, this whisky is complex yet approachable. Its distinctively soft and fruity character with hints of vanilla and peat earned this spirit a Gold Medal at the 2017 Berlin International Spirits Competition, as well as Silver at 2016 IWSC.
