Loch Lomond 46 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700mL

This 46-year-old whisky represents the second installment in the Remarkable Stills series. Drawing inspiration from unique straight neck pot stills, installed at the distillery in 1965, these mechanisms offer precise control over the spirit's style. Its journey began in 1974, aging in both 1st fill and refilled American Oak casks. After 4 years, the liquid migrated into a blend of 2nd fill Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks to introduce an additional layer of dried, tropical fruit complexity. A total of 200 bottles have been crafted for this second release.

Exemplary skill graces every aspect of the whisky creation process, extending to the packaging's final stage. Each bottle brandishes the Loch Lomond Distillery emblem, sandblasted and filled with copper. An embossed wooden cork seals the bottle, complete with an engraved metal band. A debossed copper plaque, applied by hand during the final production stage, adds a unique touch. The bottle nestles within a handmade, stunningly crafted oak wood box, stained and complemented with a metallic element. The box's two halves unite to form a graphic depiction of the straight neck pot still.

The second release relies entirely on unpeated spirit from unique straight neck pot stills. These innovative stills allow for exceptional control during distillation, enabling the collection of spirit at a higher strength. Spirit captured at this potency exhibits a distinct fruit character, a signature trait of the Loch Lomond Distillery, prominently featured in this release. From here, time and nature have their say, ultimately shaping the final masterpiece.
