Loch Lomond 18 Year

Brought this back from Scotland, rich full bodied, slightly peat flavor, decent taste

Rich and creamy. Dried fruits. Peaty florals. Lightly smoked wood. A good dram, but somewhat forgettable for an 18.

Well the 12 yr kicks some imo so thought this would be 6 yrs better. Not exactly. The profile is the same with the exotic fruits, autumn leaves and malty woods( please see 12 yr review). This takes all the rich bold vibrancy of the flavor and matures and flattens it out . Still has nice depth but the fruits are dried now and the casks are old. Finish is fading dry fruit and malt with parched wood. Its a bit tannic but lasts and is pleasant enough. On its own its still very good scotch but at the price($79) it falls a little short....85/100.....I know this sounds like a high score given my review but its still good I just expected more from age/price...... doubt I would repurchase though if Im being honest as the 12yr is quite good for less than half the $$

Some big dried fruit flavor, a little spice, but a full flavor.

Smooth and silky, medium peat with a light leathery smokiness. The semi - bold beginning dissipates quickly and leaves a pleasantly light cigar finish.

Decent
