Loch Lomond 18 Year Old Single Malt 46% Vol. 0,7l

The Loch Lomond 18 Years Old Single Malt Caramelised Apple and Wood Smoke 46% ABV 0.7L + GB is an expressive bottling from the Loch Lomond Distillery, which has been known for decades for its unmistakable style of fruitiness, elegance, and subtle smoke. This single malt matures for 18 years in three different American oak casks, giving it its deeply fruity, warmly spiced, and harmoniously smoky character. The combination of baked apple, rich toffee, and delicate wood smoke forms the aromatic heart of this mature whisky, which combines both richness and elegance. Bottled at 46% ABV, it is naturally non-chill filtered to preserve its inherent depth.

The composition of this whisky comes from Master Blender Michael Henry, whose signature on every bottle underscores the meticulous craftsmanship and consistent quality philosophy. The long maturation in selected oak casks results in a complex, balanced taste experience that perfectly reflects the characteristic elements of the Loch Lomond brand. The high-quality gift box makes this bottling an attractive presentation for collectors and enthusiasts of Scottish single malts.
