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.
