Loch Lomond Original Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 40%

Every distillery needs a solid core expression to go the distance. Loch Lomond Original is exactly that – an easy-going whisky still built on the distillery's own, slightly unusual way of making malt.

Expert's Description

Loch Lomond Original is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in American oak and bottled at 40%.

The whisky is a lightly peated single malt with no age statement, designed as an accessible introduction to the distillery's style. It combines a full, soft body with a discreet hint of smoke that never overtakes the sweet, fruity notes.

Finish

Short, crisp finish of pepper and lemon peel.
