Whisky Review: Loch Lomond 12 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky, aged 12 years in three different cask types (bourbon — a Scotch expression worthy of considered evaluation.
Nose
A burnt orange hue colors this low-viscosity whisky. The nose is rather harsh, but some intriguing notes hide under this front including fig, cranberry, and green apple.
Finish
Again, a punchy start conceals the complexity for the first few moments. Initial notes of pepper-jam, cooked sugar, and pear lead into a smoky marionberry-and-kelp finish that lingers without scorching the mouth.
Verdict
Whisky Review: Loch Lomond 12 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky delivers a thoroughly accomplished whiskey that justifies its $40 price point. It is well-crafted, balanced, and worthy of a place in any considered collection.
