The uniqueness of our pot malt stills rest in the cylindrical necks of the spirit stills. Traditionally the necks of malt stills are open. The Loch Lomond stills include special distillation trays in the necks, allowing for greater contact with the cooling alcohol vapour. This makes the process more efficient. These stills can produce alcohol up to 90% ABV where normal stills deliver the alcohol at around 70% ABV. This style of still allows for different ‘flavour notes’ to be captured and emphasised through the range of alcohol strengths that can be captured and rejected. This is much more difficult to achieve through a conventional pot still.
A celebration of Loch Lomond's orchard fruit character, Inchmurrin 12 year old Single Malt whisky is brought together by our Master Blender, Michael Henry, using spirit from our remarkable Straight Neck stills and aged in selected American Oak casks for a sweeter, mellow taste. Inchmurrin 12 year old shows off the fruit and sweet elements of our distillery's signature style with delightful notes of peach, apricot, toffee and vanilla on the finish.
Nose:
Distinctively fruity with pear drops and toffee sweetness. Light notes of freshly cut hay in summer sun.
Palate:
Seville orange citrus notes build in intensity before mellowing into peach and apricot. The fruit character gives way to creamy fudge and vanilla.
Finish:
Medium in length with peppery finish.
