Inchmurrin 12 year old from Loch Lomond distillery, rebranded in 2015 as part of the Inchmurrin 'Islands Collection'. Which is rather apt, as Inchmurrin is the largest freshwater island in the British Isles, and it sits in Loch Lomond! Coincidence? We think not. Anyway, this wonderfully creamy single malt was produced on Loch Lomond's unique straight-neck stills and aged in three types of American oak cask to showcase the fruity, sweet elements of the distillery's signature style.
Creamy sweet cereals and allspice. Hints of toffee apples and pear drops. A little caramel and furniture polish.
Smooth, rich palate entry with barley malt and salt caramel. Dried herbs, candied peels and allspice.
Medium-long finish. Spicy.

Interesting combination of sour and sharp, malt and something perhaps sulphurous. Tastes like there's something not quite right about their stills, but rather than detracting too much, it just makes this interesting.
Love the combination of sweet fruits and spices. Lasts well.
Nose is bold and complex...fruit and licorice. Palate is spirit dominated with hints of licorice, apples and tropical fruit. Finish is medium to long and slightly dry. My first purchase of a Loch Lomond whisky and I am impressed.
It could be between few single malts that has its own ID and Passport! As if you met someone that lives all his his time on a remote isle, human but different. You can't find this speciality anywhere else...
Love this whisky but it's definitely not smooth as someone below says. It needs a fair amount of water to reduce the roughness (not too much as a bit of rough is part of its charm!) and what you'll hopefully get is a rich, warm, welcoming, rounded, caramel, spiced oaky apple that really is an absolute pleasure, especially in Autumn! One to fall in love with for the long term.
