The Loch Lomond 18yo American Oak whisky is a distinguished single malt matured for 18 years in the finest American oak barrels, hand-selected by former Master Cooper, Tommy Wallace. Hailing from the unique Loch Lomond Distillery in Alexandria, on the border of the Lowlands and Highlands, this whisky represents a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation. Loch Lomond is renowned for its versatility, producing a wide range of whiskies including aged and non-aged single malts, blended whiskies, and 100% single grain whiskies.
Upon opening, this 18-year-old whisky greets you with a fresh burst of green apple and a hint of grapefruit, accented by the soft wood aromas from the oak barrels. The nose is an inviting combination of green apple, grapefruit, and sweeter honeysuckle notes, balanced with mature oak. The palate is full-bodied and rounded, offering toasted oak and cigar notes that develop into a medley of green fruits, predominantly apple and gooseberry. The finish is long and complex, featuring dried tea and tobacco leaf with a subtle medicinal peatiness and wood smoke, ensuring a balanced and satisfying conclusion.
This whisky has been crafted to highlight the sweeter character of the wood, alongside a subtle hint of peat and smoke for a harmonious finish. Loch Lomond Distillery, with its impressive production capacity of 10 million liters, stands out as one of Scotland's few distilleries capable of producing such a diverse array of whiskies. Fun fact: the whisky from Loch Lomond Distillery is a favorite of Captain Haddock from the Tintin comics.
Tommy Wallace, leveraging his extensive experience as a cooper, meticulously selected the oak barrels for this 18-year-old whisky. Notably, the whisky is not cold-filtered, preserving all the rich flavors and aromas that time and nature have imbued into the spirit.
