Facts

Loch Lomond makes its single grain whisky from 100% malted barley. That sets it apart from nearly every other Scottish distillery. The spirit runs through a continuous still rather than a pot. This peated version takes it further. It is the only peated single grain whisky made anywhere in the world. The barley is dried over peat smoke before distillation, then the spirit rests in first-fill and refill bourbon casks. The result feels softer and sweeter than most grain whisky. With creamy vanilla, ripe green apple and gentle wisps of smoke. There is a salty, oily edge too. Pour it neat and let the smoke unfold slowly.

About the Loch Lomond Peated Single

Loch Lomond Peated Single is a single grain Scotch whisky from the Highland region of Scotland. It is made at the Loch Lomond distillery. The bottling breaks the usual rules in a quiet way. Most grain whisky uses wheat or maize, but this is built from 100% malted barley. That barley is dried over peat fires before it ever reaches the still. Loch Lomond then distils it in a continuous still rather than a traditional pot. The distillery is the only place in the world making a peated single grain whisky this way. It is a genuine one-off in Scotch. The spirit matures in a mix of first-fill and refill bourbon casks. This gives the whisky a creamy, vanilla-led sweetness alongside its smoke. You will find green apple and fresh fruit up front. Underneath sits a malty body, a touch of lemon, and a peaty, smoky finish. The peat here is gentle and earthy rather than fierce. There is a salt and oily quality too, which keeps things interesting. Bottled at 46% ABV and not chill filtered, Loch Lomond Peated Single holds onto its natural texture and weight. The flavours stay full and a little waxy. Drink this Highland single grain neat. The smoke is gentle rather than fierce, so it suits both curious newcomers and seasoned peat lovers. It is an easy whisky to recommend to anyone who wants something a bit different from the Loch Lomond stable. It proves that grain whisky can be every bit as characterful as malt.
