12 year old peated single malt from the Loch Lomond distillery, released under the Inchmoan name. Just another example of how adaptable Loch Lomond's set-up is - they're able to make all sorts of styles of whisky, from single malts of all flavour profiles to tasty blends.
Mint leaf, burnt wood, a hint of medicinal peat.
Spicy as it opens, with plenty of black pepper and cinnamon. Soon enough, layers of toffee develop to balance it out.
Fruitier notes arrive on the finish.

It’s a nice dram, fruity and some peat. Started with a miniature but have since got a full bottle.
This is a top whisky from Lochlomond. Using their combination of swan neck and straight neck stills they are able to get a great combination of taste in their spirit. With the 12 years in different oak you get vanilla custard with a sweet peat taste. There is some lovely orchard fruit in there. Also a bit of a Clynelish waxiness in there. Really good.
I had inchmurrin 12 on the past and it didn't meet my expectations. So when this was available I wasted no time to dig in. The nose is bonfire, peat and spice, on the palate it gets accompanied by vanilla and cinnamon. I do love this. My favorite 12 year old from now on. Absolutely fantastic whisky. Loch Lomond you got me...
I bought this on a recommendation as I like a peated dram. But I couldn’t get into it. There was an underlying taste and smell that seemed to conflict with the smoke. And I can’t put my finger on what it is? Maybe some people like that kind of thing but it didn’t agree with my palate. Having said that I’ve not got to the shoulder yet. So I might go back to it in due course and give it another go. If you like a heavy smoky malt then you might find it is agreeable to your palate.
A wonderful dram. Subtle peat with baked apple and cinnamon notes. A lovely smooth sipping whisky - it needs no water. Could easily become a favourite of mine.
