The Story Behind The Original Triple Oak

At the heart of Loch Lomond’s whisky-making philosophy is a dedication to exploring flavour through exceptional distillation and maturation techniques.

Situated near the shores of one of Scotland’s most famous lochs, Loch Lomond Distillery has developed a reputation for producing distinctive single malt whiskies that celebrate the diversity of Highland Scotch.

The Original Triple Oak showcases this philosophy through the combination of spirits produced using the distillery’s traditional Swan Neck stills and its innovative Straight Neck stills.

These two distillation styles create complementary whisky characteristics, allowing the distillery’s master blender to achieve a harmonious balance of fruit, sweetness and subtle smoke.

The whisky’s distinctive character is further enhanced through maturation in three different American oak cask types, each contributing its own influence to the final expression.

Craftsmanship & Triple Oak Maturation

What makes Loch Lomond The Original Triple Oak particularly special is its carefully considered approach to maturation.

The whisky benefits from three different American oak cask styles:

• First-Fill American Oak: Contributes rich vanilla sweetness, honeyed notes and gentle oak character.
• Refill American Oak: Allows the distillery’s natural fruit-forward spirit to shine, preserving delicate orchard fruit flavours.
• Re-Charred American Oak: Adds further complexity, depth and warming oak characteristics, complementing the whisky’s subtle smoky notes.

The careful combination of these casks creates a beautifully rounded single malt that showcases the distillery’s signature style.

Loch Lomond’s own cooperage provides additional control over cask preparation and quality, reflecting the distillery’s dedication to craftsmanship.

Bottled at 40% ABV, The Original Triple Oak delivers a smooth and accessible whisky without sacrificing character or complexity.

The Perfect Serve

To appreciate the delicate flavours of Loch Lomond The Original Triple Oak, we recommend enjoying it neat in a traditional whisky glass.
