Loch Lomond 17 Year Old Organic Cask Strength

Crème Brûlée Fresh Pear Passion Fruit Toasted Coconut It’s not overly complex but a nice combo of flavors and great mouthfeel. A crushable spring/summertime whisky!

Nose: Distinct exotic fruit note; ripe pineapple, lychee, and mango. There is also sweet and warm honey. Behind all this is a nutty base which is hard to describe (but very typic for Loch Lomond) perhaps roasted hazelnuts pairled with marzipan? Really good nose on this one. Palate: Rich and full-bodied (booster by the proof level). Thick honey and more of those lovely exotic notes from the nose, now also accompanied by a delicate touch of pear. Also slightly nutty. Finish: The honey lingers and the pinapple slowly transforms into herbal/floral notes. Long lasting. Overall: The best of the regular (at least in Sweden) Loch Lomond lineup no doubt. A solid burbon maturation with enough age to take away the bitterness and to add that lovely dry (but still somehow sweet) honey. This is paired with a characterful destilate, making an interesting and tasty whisky - truly great. I score it 4.5.
