Denne whisky er destilleret i 2016 og aftappet i 2025 efter en finish i et first fill Maker’s Mark Bolurbon barrel #4 med i alt 215 flasker.
Dette er et søsterfad til en anden Loch Lomond, hvor Kenny MacDonald har taget den samme whisky men givet whiskyen en finish på to borubon barrels fra to forskellige destillerier, hvilket giver en interessant forskel!
Kenny MacDonalds smagsnoter:
Nose: A slightly restrained fruity note in this youthful Loch Lomond, but that is far from the end of the story. It’s floral which is unexpected for a Loch Lomond. Violets, I think. Slightly charred oakiness and totally sumptuous.
Palate: The floral note doesn’t carry through, but this is a fragrant, warming, full-bodied dram, which is unashamedly bold. A very dry Bourbon twang proving that not every Bourbon is sweet vanilla. Soft fruit with toasted nuts drizzled with a dash of cinnamon and a grilled banana. A really sophisticated dram.
Finish: A medium finish at first but as it phases out suddenly here is a resurgence. This is going to take a while!
