The Loch Lomond The Open SE 2023 bottle is a special release to celebrate the 151st Open held at Royal Liverpool. This single malt whisky is crafted using a combination of spirit distilled in Straight Neck and Swan Neck stills and matured in American oak casks. The finishing touch is provided by Rioja Alta Reserva casks, which impart the whisky with unique red berry and dark chocolate flavors.
The nose is greeted with fruity and floral notes, including rose, peach, and pear aromas. The palate offers a symphony of red berry, orchard fruits, creamy vanilla, and dark chocolate, leading to a fruity finish with a hint of smoke. Bottled at 46% ABV, this whisky is free from chill filtration.
This expression is the result of a remarkable collaboration between Loch Lomond's Master Blender, Michael Henry, and golfing legend, Colin Montgomerie, as they explored the influence of the elegant Spanish Rioja Alta Reserva casks on the signature Loch Lomond style. This whisky is a true celebration of the rich heritage and traditions of both golf and whisky.
