Loch Lomond Peated Single Grain Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$89. 99
Bottle
$1079.88 Dozen
ABV: 46%

This is a kind of quasi 'single malt' having been distilled with heavily peated malted barley (rather than corn or wheat), but in a Coffey still rather than a pot still. Matured in a combination of first and refill bourbon casks, it promises a soft fruity flavour profile with creamy vanilla and wisps of smoke. Non chill filtered.

Other reviews... more like bonfire smoke, rather than peat... just love that flavour explosion shock waves when the smoke and spices suddenly seem to wake to the fact they are there - and really let you know about it!... different, intriguing and beautifully weighted. Love it!
