Loch Lomond Whiskies comes with two limited edition single malts

Loch Lomond Whiskies has unveiled two new special limited edition single malts to mark The 149^th Open at Royal St George’s, which will take place this July. Loch Lomond Whiskies is the Official Spirit of The Open.

The Loch Lomond Open Course Collection 2021 has been created using specially commissioned English virgin oak casks, to celebrate Loch Lomond Whiskies’ first visit to Royal St George’s famous links.

Bottled in a traditional non-chill filtered manner, the 20-year-old expression has been created in partnership with Open Champion, Darren Clarke – the ambassador of Loch Lomond Whiskies - and bears his signature on the carton. The expression joins a collection of expressions created by Loch Lomond Whiskies to mark previous Open Championships in 2018 and 2019.

Bottled at an ABV of 50.2 percent and priced at £160, the Loch Lomond Open Course Collection has a rich mouth feel and showcases complex flavours including spiced apple, elderflower and caramel, before a long, dry finish of lime citrus, cumin and ginger.

The Loch Lomond Open Special Edition 2021, created in partnership with European Tour Legend and Loch Lomond Whiskies’ ambassador Colin Montgomerie, uses a combination of spirits from both Loch Lomond Whiskies’ unique straight neck and traditional pot stills; delivering a delicious and fruity single malt of exceptional quality. As with all Loch Lomond single malts, the underlying fruity character of the distillery shines with a gentle hint of smoke on the finish in The Loch Lomond Open Special Edition 2021. The spirit has been matured in three types of American oak casks. Master blender Michael Henry then marries the casks together before a final finish in Virgin American oak.

Bottled at 46 percent ABV and non-chill filtered, The Loch Lomond Open Special Edition 2021 has an RRP of £40 and is a perfect dram for golf or whisky lovers.
