Loch Lomond 2011/2022 Lady of the Glen 11 years old Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 55.3%

A single refill cask, one day in January 2011, and eleven years later a couple of hundred bottles – that's how Lady of the Glen's edition of Loch Lomond came to be. Cask strength and an unusually light, sweet character make it something of its own.
