Loch Lomond Inchmurrin 100 cl. 40%

Loch Lomond Inchmurrin is a fruity, smooth and elegant Highland single malt that presents a brighter and more aromatic side of Loch Lomond Distillery. Unlike the distillery’s peated expressions, Inchmurrin focuses on fresh fruit, creamy malt and sweet cask character, resulting in a whisky with great charm and approachability. Maturation in American oak casks brings vanilla, toffee, honey and gentle oak, while the natural fruitiness of the spirit adds clear notes of peach, apricot, pear and citrus.

In the glass, this is a whisky with a rounded texture and a lively fruit profile. It opens with juicy stone fruit, pear and vanilla, followed by caramel, sweet malt, light spice and a subtle nuttiness. The whisky is unpeated, building instead on clarity, fruit and balance. This makes it well suited both to those looking for a soft and accessible single malt and to drinkers who enjoy a fruit-led Highland style with clear cask maturity.

Loch Lomond Inchmurrin is excellent enjoyed neat, with a few drops of water if desired to bring out more fruit and vanilla. It also pairs well with mild cheeses, fruit-based desserts, vanilla ice cream, apple pie, almond cake or white chocolate.
