- Description
- Loch Lomond's versatile Highland grain distillery produced this 22-year-old in 1996, initially aged in bourbon before an unusual finish in first-fill Armagnac cask added layers of dried fruit and herbal complexity. The palate moves from orchard fruits and cereal sweetness into deeper notes of candied orange peel and subtle tannins from the Armagnac influence. Murray McDavid bottled it at 50% ABV for their Select Grain series, creating a whisky that straddles grain purity and cask innovation. A sophisticated choice for those curious about cask experimentation.
