Lochside 1981 GM Private Collection Refill Sherry Hogshead 49.2% 700ml information

The Lochside 1981 GM Private Collection Refill Sherry Hogshead is a rare and highly sought-after single malt whisky, meticulously crafted and aged for 40 years. Distilled at the historic Lochside Distillery in 1981, this exceptional spirit has matured in a refill sherry hogshead, creating a rich and complex flavor profile that whisky aficionados will relish. With an impressive ABV of 49.2%, this whisky is a testament to the expertise of Gordon & MacPhail, who have curated this exquisite addition to their prestigious private collection.

Only 141 bottles of this exclusive release were produced, making it a highly coveted gem for collectors and enthusiasts alike. The Lochside 1981 GM Private Collection exhibits the distinctive characteristics of Highland whiskies, enriched by the influence of old-school sherry maturation. On the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of raspberry jam, salted almonds, and malt loaf, intertwined with gingerbread spice and an array of fruits including dates, baked apple, peach, mango, and raisins. The palate reveals a delightful fusion of stewed blackcurrants, walnut whip, and espresso, complemented by fermented fruit, mango, peach, and oak wood soaked in sherry. The finish is long, warm, and spicy, with lingering notes of dark chocolate, fried nuts, and a touch of cocoa powder.

Lochside Distillery, established in 1961 by the renowned whisky baron Joseph Hobbs, operated for a relatively brief period, with much of its production destined for blending. This makes single malt releases like the Lochside 1981 GM Private Collection exceptionally rare and highly sought-after. Overall, this whisky is a remarkable representation of sherry cask aging, capturing the essence of Lochside's legacy and offering a unique experience that is sure to delight any connoisseur.
