12-year-old single malt Scotch whisky from Loch Lomond, who are well known for being able to produce a wide variety of styles of whisky in their Highland distillery. This particular expression was made using the distillery's unique straight-neck stills and more traditional swan-neck stills, and aged in a selection of bourbon, refill and recharged American oak casks.
Creamy vanilla, with a touch of freshly baked apple turnover.
Brown sugar and five-spice. Orchard fruit notes continue, with a hint of yellow plum too.
Quite drying with subtle woody smoke, though still sweet with vanilla.
Smooth, easy drinking. A value buy.
I don't know what old mate was talking about who gave this wonderful dram a 1 star! This was delicious whisky! I highly recommend you try it for yourself and let your tastebuds decide!
Very disappointed. Grain! Nose was interesting initially but it's a bit rough.. cough drops. Medicine. Short finish. Even water doesn't save this. Cask is adding nout, I'd bet it's been used a few too many times and in block storage without care. Even at 46% this has very little flavour. Oh dear, not a good one.
