Inchmurrin 12 Year Old is Loch Lomond's unpeated single malt — named for the largest island in the loch and produced using the distillery's remarkable Straight Neck stills. These unusual stills create a spirit with a distinctive orchard fruit character that conventional pot stills cannot replicate. Matured in selected American oak casks for twelve years.
The Straight Neck still influence is the differentiator. The orchard fruit character — peach, apple, pear — is more vivid and juicy than most Highland malts achieve. At twelve years, this fruit has developed genuine depth, with fudge and vanilla from the oak adding richness and the allspice and pepper providing a spicy counterpoint.
Inchmurrin 12 is one of the best-value twelve-year-old single malts in Scotland. The unique still character gives it genuine distinctiveness, the twelve years provide adequate maturity, and the 46% non-chill-filtered presentation is honest. A fruity, characterful Highland malt at a very fair price.
