Description

Loch Lomond Single Grain Scotch Whisky

ABV: 46%

Discover the beautifully smooth and vibrant character of Loch Lomond Single Grain Scotch Whisky, an exceptional Highland expression that showcases the distillery’s innovative approach to traditional Scottish whisky-making.

Crafted at Loch Lomond Distillery in Alexandria, Scotland, this distinctive whisky is produced exclusively from malted barley, creating a wonderfully rich and flavourful spirit with a complexity not typically associated with single grain Scotch.

Unlike conventional single grain whiskies, which are often produced using a combination of cereals, Loch Lomond Single Grain is made from 100% malted barley and distilled using the distillery’s unique continuous still.

The whisky is then matured in carefully selected American oak casks, allowing its natural sweetness, vibrant fruit character and creamy vanilla notes to develop beautifully.

The result is a wonderfully balanced, unpeated whisky that delivers refreshing citrus, juicy tropical fruits and delicate sweetness, offering an elegant and rewarding experience for both newcomers and seasoned whisky enthusiasts.

The Story Behind Loch Lomond Single Grain

At Loch Lomond Distillery, innovation and craftsmanship have been at the heart of whisky production for generations.

Located near the shores of Scotland’s iconic Loch Lomond, the distillery has developed a reputation for producing an extraordinary variety of Scotch whisky styles through its distinctive distillation techniques.

Loch Lomond Single Grain is a remarkable example of this pioneering approach, challenging traditional expectations of what a single grain whisky can be.

While many single grain Scotch whiskies are produced using a combination of cereals, Loch Lomond takes a different approach by using exclusively malted barley.

The whisky is distilled in a continuous still rather than a traditional pot still, giving it its single grain classification while retaining the rich, fruity characteristics associated with malted barley.

This innovative process creates a spirit that is exceptionally smooth and approachable, yet full of character and complexity.

The result is a distinctive Highland whisky that celebrates Loch Lomond’s dedication to innovation, quality and exceptional flavour.

Craftsmanship & American Oak Maturation

What makes Loch Lomond Single Grain Scotch Whisky particularly special is its combination of carefully selected ingredients, innovative distillation and expert maturation.

Several key elements contribute to its distinctive character:

• 100% Malted Barley: Produced exclusively from malted barley, creating a rich, flavourful spirit with exceptional depth and natural sweetness.
• Unpeated Spirit: Unlike the distillery’s peated single grain expression, this whisky focuses on bright fruit, creamy vanilla and delicate cereal notes without the influence of peat smoke.
• Continuous Distillation: Distilled using Loch Lomond’s unique continuous still, producing an exceptionally smooth spirit with a refined and balanced character.
• American Oak Cask Maturation: Carefully selected casks introduce gentle oak sweetness, creamy vanilla and delicate complexity while allowing the whisky’s natural fruit character to shine.
• Expert Maturation: Matured under the guidance of Michael Henry, Loch Lomond’s Master Blender, ensuring a harmonious balance of flavour and aroma.

The combination of these elements creates a whisky that is both distinctive and approachable, offering an excellent introduction to the world of premium single grain Scotch.

Bottled at 46% ABV, Loch Lomond Single Grain delivers a wonderfully expressive whisky experience.

The Perfect Serve

To fully appreciate the delicate flavours of Loch Lomond Single Grain, we recommend enjoying it neat in a traditional whisky glass.

Allow the whisky a few moments to breathe, giving its fresh barley, baked apple and citrus aromas time to develop.

For a slightly softer experience, add a few drops of water to reveal additional layers of creamy vanilla and tropical fruit.

Alternatively, serve over a large ice cube for a smooth and refreshing dram.

Its bright, fruity character also makes it an excellent choice for a premium Whisky Highball.

Simply combine 50ml Loch Lomond Single Grain with chilled soda water over plenty of ice, then garnish with a fresh lemon twist.

For food pairings, consider light cheeses, roasted nuts, fresh fruit or vanilla-based desserts, which complement the whisky’s natural sweetness.
