Luss ("Lios") and the islands nearby were used as the setting for E. J. Oxenham's first book, Goblin Island, published in 1907. [68] Over and above our signature collection listed above, our innovative distillery is constantly creating new and intriguing single malt expressions that illustrate our diverse set of capabilities. Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products. Oh, ye'll tak the high road, and I'll tak the low road, And I'll be in Scotland afore ye; But me and my true love will never meet again On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.

The village of Luss ("Glendarroch") on the shores of the loch was the location for the TV soap Take the High Road, and the loch itself was given the fictional name Loch Darroch for the purpose of the series.

The Loch Lomond story is captured in my post on Loch Lomond Signature as well as on Loch Lomond Single Grain. It is a very versatile distillery; producing both malt and grain whisky and they have a big brand portfolio. From their range, I prefer the Glen Scotia releases. In the future, I hope to try some of the other brands within their portfolio.The loch contains many islands, including Inchmurrin, the largest fresh-water island in the British Isles. [10] Loch Lomond is a popular leisure destination and is featured in the song " The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond". The loch is surrounded by hills, [11] including Ben Lomond on the eastern shore, which is 974 metres (3,196ft) in height [2] and the most southerly of the Scottish Munro peaks. A 2005 poll of Radio Times readers voted Loch Lomond as the sixth greatest natural wonder in Britain. [12] Formation [ edit ] Peter Matthews, ed. (1994). The Guinness Book of Records 1995.

When it comes to representing Scottish tradition from a purely historical standpoint, there are certainly older distilleries. In fact, the original Loch Lomond Whiskies, which has since closed, relocated, and reopened in 1965, first set up shop in 1814. That’s a lead of 30 years or more for its peers like Glenturret, Strathisla, or Bowmore. Even so, a healthy 200-year history of distilling is more than ample time to carve out a place in the world of whisky, and today those three decades seem a mere trifle. By law, Single Malt Scotch Whisky is defined as whisky distilled in a copper pot still at a single distillery in Scotland using only malted barley, yeast and water. It must then mature in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years and one day before being bottled at an alcohol volume of no less than 40%.From distillation to maturation, blending and bottling, Michael Henry, our master blender, is the man responsible for the award-winning single malt whiskies we have on offer in our collection. Each and every Member must be of legal drinking age in its country of residence to be allowed to use the Service. If no such law exists in a Member’s country of residence, the Member has to be over 21 years old to use the Service. We have the right to ask you to provide proof of your age and/or to provide further identification to prevent underage usage and/or for any other legal or legitimate purpose. By using the Service, and by creating an account you represent, warrant and confirm that you are of legal age. There’s no limit to the imagination of our Master Blender Michael Henry and his team. Like the conductor of an orchestra, Michael skillfully influences Loch Lomond’s signature notes of orchard fruit, sweet honey and soft smoke, to create a collection full of layered complexity and ever-changing moods. Loch Lomond is one of Scotland's premier boating and watersports venues, with visitors enjoying activities including kayaking, Canadian canoeing, paddle boarding, wake boarding, water skiing and wake surfing. [11] The national park authority has tried to achieve a balance between land-based tourists and loch users, with environmentally sensitive areas subject to a strictly enforced 11km/h (5.9kn; 6.8mph) speed limit, but the rest of the loch open to speeds of up to 90km/h (49kn; 56mph). [37] Writing 150 years earlier than Morton, Samuel Johnson had however been less impressed by Loch Lomond's islands, writing:

Matured in refill American oak casks and finished for 12 months in French Limousin oak casks. The result is a delightfully fruity and spicy single malt with grapefruit citrus, sweet toffee and warming cinnamon spice notes. a b c d e f g "Loch Lomond".
