The Loch Lomond 1999 single malt whisky is a remarkable 22-year-old expression, distilled just before the new millennium and meticulously matured in American oak casks. This exquisite whisky underwent a final maturation in premium Haut-Medoc Claret barrels, enhancing its complexity and depth. Part of the exclusive Open Course Collection, this release celebrates the historic Open Championship and its prestigious courses, from the inaugural event in 1860 at Prestwick to the 150th Open in 2022 at St Andrews.
Crafted to perfection in celebration of Loch Lomond's collaboration with The Open, this whisky delivers a robust and elegant cask strength of 48.2%. Limited to only 4000 bottles, this unique expression was expertly created by Master Blender Michael Henry. The initial maturation in American oak casks followed by a 36-month finish in Haut-Medoc Claret barriques ensures a rich and sophisticated flavor profile, further accentuated by being non-chill filtered.
On the nose, this whisky offers a captivating bouquet of clove, star anise, oak spice, redcurrants, raspberries, honey, stewed apple, pear, and black cherry notes. The palate is equally enchanting, featuring dark chocolate, vanilla, warming ginger spice, black cherry, and a subtle wood smoke that gently lingers on the finish. This limited release is a testament to Loch Lomond's dedication to excellence and their tribute to the esteemed Open Championship.
