Two Still Shapes, One Highland Malt
Loch Lomond is one of the few Scotch distilleries that runs straight-neck pot stills — fitted with rectifying plates that can produce a higher-strength, fruitier spirit — alongside traditional swan-neck pot stills, so a wider range of spirit styles comes off one site on the River Leven near the southern end of the loch. For the Original, spirit from both still types is matured in three kinds of American oak and married by Master Blender Michael Henry, whose signature appears on the bottle.

How to Enjoy
Pour it neat or over a single large cube as an easy-drinking introduction to Highland malt, or use it as the Scotch base in a Rob Roy or a whisky highball with soda and a lemon twist.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Loch Lomond Original a peated whisky? No — it is not sold as a peated malt. The producer's notes describe only a gentle hint of smoke on the finish, over a honeyed, orchard-fruit profile.
How old is Loch Lomond Original? It carries no age statement. The whisky is a blend of casks of different ages from the distillery's three American oak types, assembled for smoothness and fruit character rather than a stated year count.
What makes Loch Lomond different from other distilleries? Its stillroom: straight-neck stills with rectifying plates run alongside swan-neck pot stills, letting one distillery make several spirit styles — the Original draws on both.
