The Open Special Edition of 2021 has been created in partnership with Colin Montgomerie, Scottish Professional Golfer and Loch Lomond Whiskies ambassador.
For this special edition, a combination of spirits from both our unique straight neck and more traditional pot stills have been selected, delivering an approachable single malt of exception quality. As with all Loch Lomond Single Malts, the underlying fruit character shines with a gentle hint of smoke on the finish.
The spirit has been matured in three types of American oak casks, managed by our onsite cooperage. Michael Henry, our Master Blender then marries the casks together before a partial finish in Virgin American oak.
Non-chill filtered just as nature intended, and bottled at 46% ABV delivers a rich mouthfeel and a deep and complex flavour.
Colin Montgomerie comments " Working with Michael Henry once again has been an incredible experience. I know that both golfers and whisky fans will love what we've been able to produce."
