The Whisky Jury's very first Loch Lomond: a single cask of 2007 Croftengea.

A great peated single malt from Loch Lomond Distillery with a lovely fruity touch to it.

From an underrated name, just what we like!

Loch Lomond Distillery

Loch Lomond Distillery is located in Alexandria, on the southern shore of Loch Lomond, in the Scottish Lowlands. Founded in 1964, the distillery has stood out for its innovative approach to whisky production. Its proximity to iconic Loch Lomond provides not only a beautiful setting, but also an excellent source of pure water.

A unique feature of Loch Lomond Distillery is its versatility in production. The distillery has both traditional pot stills and unique 'straight neck' pot stills, and produces both single malt and single grain whiskies. This flexibility allows Loch Lomond to create a wide range of flavour profiles, from light and fruity to rich, complex and even smoky whiskies.

Loch Lomond whiskies are known for their balanced and refined character, with notes of apple, pear, honey, and subtle hints of smoke and spice. The whisky is matured in a mix of ex-bourbon and sherry casks, creating a deep and complex flavour. The combination of innovation, traditional techniques and a beautiful location makes Loch Lomond Distillery a unique and respected name in the world of Scotch whisky.
