The Remarkable Stills Series is inspired by the distiller’s unique Straight Neck pot stills, which give Master Blender Michael Henry the creative freedom to explore flavour in a more inventive way, carefully shaping the character of the whisky at the point of distillation, revealing distinctive fruit notes at a higher collection strength.
This latest release which joins their 45 Year Old and 46
Year Old to complete the Remarkable Stills Series, is said to deliver notes of
toffee, orange, green apple, sultanas, cinnamon and nutmeg on the nose. Followed
by notes of caramel, vanilla, crisp green apple, melon, kiwi and elderflower on
the palate.
Commenting on the launch, Michael Henry said: “It is our
unique straight neck stills which set us apart from others. As the only
distillery In Scotland to use these stills, our whisky making process is truly
innovative and entirely one of a kind. Created in tribute to this incredible
feat of engineering, our Remarkable Stills Series is as rare as the stills
themselves. Loch Lomond 47 Years Old is the final piece of this collection – a
distinctively fruity single malt with an array of complex and complementary
notes. It is a single-malt of exceptional character that perfectly captures the
imagination and curious spirit of the Loch Lomond Whiskies distillery.”
Limited to 200 bottles, Loch Lomond 47 Year Old, is available
via the Loch Lomond website and from selected specialist retailers, for a RRP
of £5,750.
