This Single Malt comes from the Highland area but has a very important element in its composition: peat.
Starting with the Single Malt expression out of a small series of reviews that I will carry out; Loch Lomond Original is full of flavor.
To begin with, it is one of the few, if not the only, whiskey that has cork in the local market. From there, there is a difference in quality with the other offers in the Ecuadorian market.
It has a burnished gold color and good viscosity, its aroma: Malt, Red apples, Cinnamon and Vanilla cookies.
Very sweet. Very attractive. Honey after several minutes and after taking a couple of sips: raisins.
On the palate it is powerful and very different from the nose: malt, tobacco, ash, moderate peat and black pepper. Its aftertaste is spicy with ash and moderate smoke.
- Cut with 2 drops of water:
Pure cinnamon in its aroma.
On the palate, it softens a lot and is very easy to drink, but due to the peat it does not lose character. Leather and cinnamon notes. The aftertaste with notes of smoke and light spice.
My personal conclusion is that its price / quality ratio is amazing. A very good product, which does not exist elsewhere in Ecuador. 80/100
