First Impressions
Loch Lomond 12 is one of Scotch whisky's quiet bargains — a 46% ABV, non-chill-filtered single malt with a complex backstory.
Distillery & Heritage
Loch Lomond Distillery in Alexandria is one of the most unusual in Scotland. It's home to traditional swan-neck pot stills and a set of straight-necked pot stills with rectifying columns, allowing the distillery to produce a remarkable variety of single malt styles under one roof. The 12 Year Old is a marriage of three of those distillates.
Tasting Notes in Detail
The nose is bright and orchard-fresh: pear, green apple and vanilla, with just a whisper of peat smoke drifting in behind. The palate keeps the fruit front and centre, joined by creamy malt, citrus zest and a gentle smoky-honey finish.
Verdict
A genuinely characterful single malt at an everyday price.
