Loch Lomond 24 years 2000 - 2024 Manzanilla Sherry Cask

As in previous years, Loch Lomond is the official "Spirit Of The Open. This prestigious golf tournament takes place on the historic 'Royal Troon' golf course. This year, the tournament will be held for the 152nd time.

This 24 year old Loch Lomond single malt pays tribute to all the people, players and golf courses that have been involved in The Open, from the first ever at Prestwick to the 152nd The Open this year at the 'Royal Troon'.

This rare whisky was crafted by Loch Lomond Master Distiller, Michael Henry. The journey begins in 1999 when the whisky was distilled through a combination of the unique Straight Neck pot stills and traditional Swan Neck stills. The distillate then spent most of its maturation period in American oak barrels. The whisky was then finished in beautiful Manzanilla sherry casks from Jerez. This has created a whisky with the distinctive elements of honey and soft smoke that Loch Lomond is known for, combined with the fruitiness of the Manzanilla sherry casks.

Extra information

Loch Lomond distillery is located in the town of Alexandria on the border of the Lowlands and Highlands. For decades, the area, along with Speyside, was the epicenter for the Single Malt whisky industry. However, several distilleries have closed over the years which makes the "Loch Lomond Distillery" unique of its kind. The distillery with the eponymous name of Scotland's mythical and largest lake is characterized by the variety of whisky it distills. It is one of the few distilleries in Scotland that commercializes both aged single malt whisky, non-aged single malt whisky, blended whisky and 100% single (peated) grain whisky. Also, the whisky from the Loch Lomond distillery is the favorite whisky of Captain Haddock from the Tintin comic strip.
