A satisfying, subtly peated single malt Scotch whisky from Loch Lomond. The distillery is renowned for being able to produce a multitude of whisky styles, including single malt (like the one you see before your eyes right now), single grain and blends. Versatile and talented, those Loch Lomond distillers...
Caramel, oily walnut, a touch of dusty oak smokiness.
Digestive biscuits and ginger snaps. Subtle vegetal notes develop later on.
Diced almond, coffee bean, toasted malt.
A good value scotch. As someone who is a bigger fan of Bourbon and Irish Whisky this is one of my favourite value whisky's. I'm sure there are a lot of people in a similar situation who will find that information valuable.
This is a good allround whisky in this price range. Not spirity like some no age statement whisky can suffer from, rather a distinct but odd cask character which most of my friends either like or hate...
I was given this bottle of Loch Lomond original as a present. I've had a few drams out of it, at first it seemed OK then on my second it started to leave a strange taste in my mouth and has a very young spirit kick so had a couple more to be sure and it doesn't get any better. Overall would not recommend it and I'm glad I never parted with cash as at £25 you can get some really good drams ( Highland Park 12, Old Pulteney 12, Aberlour 10,12 and so on) Don't waste your cash on this
Not my favorite whisky ever but for $40 not bad at all and cheaper than a lot of other bottles I have been getting lately. This has a lot of character to it, it has a sort of sour oak taste with a hint of peat smoke and honey maybe some butter and some coastal tang to it as well event though I don't believe it is aged by the sea ( I don't know though I am from California).Very interesting was gonna give it a 7 since its not that smooth but it has some great flavor and character to it, it's pretty unique and reasonably priced so I'll bump it up to an 8. Cheers!The Sugarbear
Picked up a bottle for £9.50 in Gibraltar (Boom! Take that Customs & Excise). Touch of smoke, touch of toffee, touch of spice; the match of many more expensive single malts. If you're happy to go the extra cash, I can also heartily recommend the Loch Lomond and Inchmurrin 18 year olds. Loving the Loch Lomond boys, right now.
