Loch Lomond is a Lowland Distillery which was founded in 1965. The distillery is situated in a converted dye works in the town of Alexandria, which is located just outside Glasgow. Named after the infamous nearby loch, it was founded by the owners of the now closed Littlemill Distillery, which was just down the road towards Glasgow, as they wanted to expand. Loch Lomond creates a range of different single single malt as well as single grain whiskies (both of which come in peated and un-peated varieties). The distillery utilises several different styles of stills to create their wide range of scotch whiskies.
Loch Lomond's continuous 'Coffey' still exclusively crafts this single grain scotch whisky from malted barley. This approach to distillation gives a lighter, much more approachable whisky with lots of flavour and character. It then matures in the finest American Oak casks from their on-site cooperage. Michael Henry, the Master Blender, then selects the perfect combination of casks. This creates the perfect harmony of flavour and aroma - an elegant, full bodied single grain with a distinctive background character of soft fruits and creamy vanilla, making this smooth and approachable with a great depth of flavour.
Official Tasting Notes
Nose - Fresh cut barley fields with a malty edge, biscuity with baked apples alongside gentle lemon peel.
Taste - Crisp and delicate. Pineapple juice and a lemon zestiness with a lovely vanilla sweetness at the end.
Finish - Gentle with soft fruits alongside a juicy sweetness.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
