This 21-year-old single malt from Loch Lomond was released alongside the distillery’s attractive brand refresh in 2020. Loch Lomond 21 Year Old uses three styles of spirit: two of which are peated, all of which have been matured in a mix of American oak casks. Then, under the watchful eye of Master Blender Michael Henry, these spirits are married together for up to three months before bottling at 46% ABV. A natural beauty; this expression is free from chill filtration and additional colouring.

“The colour of polished brass. The top notes combine apple with suet pastry to give an overall impression of old fashioned steamed pudding. The aroma becomes thicker and sweeter in time, with a hint of char. The taste is sweet, lightly salty, with some warming spice at reduced strength.” – Charlie McLean’s tasting notes from the Autumn 2020 edition of Whiskeria.

Pro golfer Lee Westwood, 2020 Race to Dubai Champion and 2020 European Tour Player of the Year, has partnered with Loch Lomond Whiskies on this stunning 25 Year Old first edition single cask to commemorate his incredible achievement of 25 European Tour wins. Working alongside Lee to help select a cask was the highly experienced Master Blender, Michael Henry. This cask was a refill American hogshead that had previously held spirit from the distillery’s iconic straight neck stills. Left at 55.3% abv and in a limited run, this is truly one for the golf and whisky aficionados alike!

On the nose begins a burst of fresh, ripe peaches, crisp apples and orange zest – really showcasing Loch Lomond’s unique fruit undertones. The palate has toasted oak, tropical notes of pineapple, and a lingering caramel richness finishing up with a warmth of ginger and cinnamon.

Loch Lomond 45 Year Old is the first release in the distillery’s Remarkable Stills Series celebrating the innovative 1960s straight-neck pot stills that are unique to Loch Lomond Distillery. Distilled in 1973, the whisky has spent time in American oak casks before being finished for a year in a first-fill Oloroso sherry barrel, bottled at 42.2% ABV and free from chill filtration.

The palate reveals red apple with a honeyed sweetness and tropical fruits of kiwi and melon. A long finish awaits with warm mixed spices, gooseberries and tart pears. One to savour during a long summer evening.

Longmorn was founded in 1893 by John Duff, one of the great personalities of the Victorian whisky industry, attracted by the booming demand for quality Scotch Whisky. The distillery’s name derives from the church of St Marnoch near the Elgin to Rothes road, in turn named for a 7th century missionary who brought Christianity to the Picts of Moray. Although, the Gaelic ‘St Mo-ernin-og’ evolved to ‘Longmorn’ over the centuries, the natural ingredients used in the whisky remain as pure as in St Marnoch’s day: water from the local springs, barley from Moray and peat from nearby sources – all contributing to the signature Speyside character for which Longmorn is so highly prized. Longmorn 16yo is in great demand not only as a single malt but as the ‘top dressing’ in many of Scotland’s finest blended whiskies.

From the world-acclaimed Connoisseurs Choice range comes this Longmorn single malt whisky, independently bottled by Gordon & MacPhail. Distilled in 1987, this expression has spent 33 years in a refill American hogshead before being bottled in November 2020 at 51% abv without chill filtration or added colouring. Highly limited, just 196 bottles have been produced.

The nose has plenty fresh citrus aromas with pineapple, soft vanilla and ripe pears. On the palate, tropical fruits and cereal with a hint of chilli, followed by oak and hazelnuts. The finish is rich and sweet, abundant with caramel.
