Loch Lomond 12 Year Old Whisky

a nice smooth 'warm' pleasent drink
enjoyable for everyday
I personally do not detect any hashness or similar negative tastes howevrer, it is, as stated, a single malt

From reading the reviews below it’s clear that many people have formed their opinion quickly after opening. And they’re correct.
This dram needs time.
It DOES start harsh and thin. After a thorough shaking and breathing it becomes full and sweet. I suggest you put half of it in another bottle, shake them both well and let the spirit wake up for a few days .
Then you will have a lovely whisky.

Not very pleasant found to harsh and a little Smokey not my cup of tea

For somebody who is not a connoisseur but enjoys Single Malts I found this to have more than a pleasant taste and was being sold at an excellent price.

Worst excuse for a single malt that I ever had the misfortune of tasting. It appears that Loch Lomond distillery has no quality control. This harsh, taste-less stuff should never have been bottled.

I don't know if other people got a bad batch, but this, in my opinion, is an excellent Scotch. Very nice color. Scent of peach and fruit. Taste is better than the smell. Peaches and cream with vanilla and a hint of fresh oatmeal. It is extremely smooth for a 46%, I've had lower ABV Scotchs that are much more harsh and burn the throat.

My dad, who is not a Scotch drinker (he prefers Cognac and brandy) also found this Scotch very good. I do admit, if you prefer a smokier and peatier Scotch, I would not recommend this Scotch. However, as someone that enjoys both whiskey and fruit brandies (such as rakija) this is one of the best liquors I have had.

I quite like it. A mixture of sweetness and fruity flavours to start off with, mild vanilla. Then pepper and curried spices , warming.
Reminds me of an Indian dish reinvented in Glasgow by adding cream and sugars..
maybe a faint metallic taste …
…beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
It’s not pretentious & maybe not fashionable. Different to my 60 other whisky’s flavours.
No smoke or peat that I can taste
I loved the simplicity of some unfashionable different single malts like Glen Keith but many people scored it low .. so what do I know?

Lots of refill casks used here, resulting in a harsh experience with the subtle notes being drowned out by the harshness. Props for not chill filtering but you can’t put lipstick on a pig as some might say. Whilst Loch Lomond are improving their quality, there’s a way to go yet.

I'm not getting it unfortunately. To me it's a bit too lively and harsh. A drop of water and time mellows it to an extent but it is still that little too harsh.

very sharp alcohol sting - comes across as much younger then 12 yr aged.... Not for me but cheers anyway ! N
