As the holidays approach, Loch Lomond is ramping up its renewed focus in the U.S. with the reintroduction of Loch Lomond 18-Year-Old. This approachable 18-Year-Old is available at retailers nationwide and online at https://us.lochlomondwhiskies.com/. 

In partnership with Foley Family Wines & Spirits, Loch Lomond 18-Year-Old has an SRP of $159.99 for a 750ml bottle.

Loch Lomond’s approach to flavor creation is guided by the expertise of renowned Master Blender Michael Henry. Under Henry’s supervision, the distillery showcases the combined impacts of extra-long fermentation periods, carefully selected yeast strains, innovative distillation methods, and closely monitored maturation. 

By pinpointing these four critical elements of the production process, the brand’s signature style was created.

Crafted in the shadow of Ben Lomond Mountain using traditional swan neck stills alongside pioneering straight neck pot stills – each fitted with 32 copper plates – the distillery precisely controls the spirit distillation, enabling the creation of vibrant orchard and tropical fruit flavors. The whisky’s flavor profile is developed through maturation exclusively in three types of American oak casks, thoughtfully balancing first-fill, refill, and re-charred barrels. 

Further distinguishing itself, Loch Lomond is one of only four distilleries in Scotland with an on-site cooperage, employing 10 qualified coopers, who work on approximately 22 casks per day.

Whisky connoisseurs will notice a presence of soft smoke in Loch Lomond 18-Year-Old, reflecting the modest amount of peated whisky produced annually by the distillery, which averages around five percent. Here, this smokiness is used as a subtle seasoning, complementing and enhancing, rather than overpowering the whisky’s core fruity and honeyed notes..
