Loch Lomond 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750mL

Loch Lomond 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Highland Single Malt | 46% ABV | 92 Proof | 750mL | Scotland | 12 Years, Non-Chill Filtered

Process & Profile

Loch Lomond 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky pairs orchard-fruit flavors with a gentle touch of smoke. Produced at Loch Lomond Distillery in Scotland, it is made using both the distillery’s straight-neck stills and traditional swan-neck stills.

The whisky matures for 12 years in three types of American oak casks: bourbon, refill, and re-charred. Master Blender Michael Henry brings the casks together for a profile that moves from green apple and pear to vanilla sweetness, biscuit, and a lightly smoky finish.

Bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration, Loch Lomond 12 offers fruit and citrus up front rather than an intensely peated style. The U.S. bottle contains 750mL.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Crisp green apple, ripe pear, lemon, and a background note of golden cereal.

• Palate: Orchard fruit and pear with lemon, vanilla meringue, and light biscuit sweetness.

• Finish: Medium in length, with gentle wood smoke and a lingering tang.

How to Enjoy

Try a small pour neat first to pick out the green apple, pear, and citrus notes before the smoke arrives. A few drops of water can give you another view of its fruit and vanilla character.

If you prefer whisky over ice, use a large cube and sip as it gradually dilutes. The gentle smoke makes this a useful choice for someone exploring smoky single malts without starting with a heavily peated expression.
