Cadenhead Loch Lomond 17 Year Old

Cadenhead Loch Lomond 17 Year Old is a heavily peated Highland single malt Scotch whisky from Loch Lomond Distillery in Alexandria, West Dunbartonshire, made in the style the distillery calls Inchfad. Distilled in 2005 and transferred to Oloroso sherry casks in 2021, it was bottled by Wm Cadenhead for the Original Collection at 46% ABV in a 700ml bottle, without chill filtration or added colouring. Barbecued meat leads from the first nosing, with cinnamon and pepper adding gentle spice and a honeyed sweetness on the palate balancing the smoke.

Nose: Meaty and smoky, with barbecue and cinnamon sticks.

Palate: Spare ribs in barbecue sauce, smoked cheese and honey glaze.

Finish: Pulled pork, dark chocolate, soy sauce and white pepper.

Serve: Enjoy neat, or add a few drops of water to open up the aromas.
