- Description
- Loch Lomond's 1996 distillation was moved into a fresh ex-bourbon cask after a decade, allowing the second half of its 18-year maturation to build additional sweetness and vanilla character across three casks. The result balances the distillery's characteristic grain purity with layers of honey, light spice, and creamy oak texture. A refined Highland grain with enough complexity to merit contemplation but enough approachability for everyday enjoyment.
