Two Still Shapes, One 18 Year Old Malt
Loch Lomond is one of the few Scottish distilleries that can make several malt styles under one roof, thanks to its mix of straight-neck and traditional pot stills. The 18 Year Old is where that flexibility meets patience — nearly two decades in American oak, assembled by Michael Henry into the distillery's signature baked-apple profile. It earns its place on our Scotch whisky shelf and in the wider Loch Lomond range.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Green apple, grapefruit, honeysuckle, and mature oak. Palate: Toasted oak, cigar box, apple, and gooseberry over caramelised apple and toffee. Finish: Long — dried tea, tobacco leaf, soft medicinal peat, and wood smoke.
How to Enjoy
Neat, with a few drops of water to lift the apple and honeysuckle. The soft peat smoke on the finish makes it a fine after-dinner pour.
