- Description
- Spearhead is a single grain crafted from 100% malted barley with an extended fermentation, distilled in a Coffey still, and finished six months in both traditionally and infrared-toasted barrels. This Highland expression from Loch Lomond Distillery demonstrates how grain whisky can achieve remarkable complexity through thoughtful production and finishing choices.
