Loch Lomond 45 Year Old | Bottle 170/200 | Single Malt Scotch Whisky

‘

Detailed Description
Unique to Loch Lomond, their stills give their distillers more control of the type of spirit produced, allowing for greater separation of flavours, helping to create the distinct fruity characters that Loch Lomond has become famous for. Distilled in 1973, the whisky has been matured in American oak casks, before finishing in a first-fill oloroso sherry cask to add a distinct sweet flavour.This whisky showcases flavours of red apple, pear, tropical fruits and honey. On the nose, the expression presents floral scents, before offering notes of orange blossom and melted brown sugar. The finish is long, and presents waves of warming cinnamon spice and tart green fruits. Bottled at 42.2% and non-chill filtered.The liquid is presented in a Loch Lomond premium bottle, complete with a debossed copper plaque, and enclosed in a beautifully crafted oak wood box designed to mirror the design of the Loch Lomond straight neck pot stills. Only 200 individually numbered bottles have been released, making it one of our rarest expressions to date.

Distillery Information
Loch Lomond Distillery was commissioned by the Littlemill Distilling Company in 1964 with first distillation in 1966. In 1984, the distillery closed – or fell silent, to use the traditional term. Happily though, Alexander Bulloch and the Glen Catrine company acquired the business and resumed malt production in 1987. Grain whisky production began in 1993 and two new malt stills were added in 1999.
