Noble Rebel from Loch Lomond Group

Loch Lomond Group has launched Noble Rebel; an innovative and bold blended malt Scotch whisky brand that combines the nobility of single malt whisky with the rigour of craftsmanship.

Drawing on centuries of know-how and deep bonds with like-minded distilleries, Noble Rebel blended malt whiskies are forged on the innovative spirit of Loch Lomond distillery, the exquisite dram of Glen Scotia, and riveting liquids from trusted partners.

Available in three distinct expressions – Orchard Outburst, Smoke Symphony and Hazelnut Harmony – the flavours of Noble Rebel are brought to life through a series of vivid illustrations that detail the intricate stories, layers and tasting notes of each expression.

Matured in ex-bourbon casks, Orchard Outburst balances crisp, ripe orchard fruits with surprising flavours of crashing salty ocean waves, resulting in an explosion of zest with hints of zingy lemon and lime.This intriguing malt contains whisky distilled with Chardonnay wine yeast; an unusual ingredient in whisky distillation which helps to intensify fruit and citrus flavours in the finished blend.

Smoke Symphony weaves threads of peat and smoke with hits of chilli. Lightning bolts of rich red body married with subtle berry tartness create a truly intriguing dram. Finished in Rioja wine casks, Smoke Symphony conveys notes of smoke, spice and dark berries.

Hazelnut Harmony mingles nuts with a hint of sweet honeycomb, with subtle pear undertones meeting imprints of warm oak. Completing the trio of expressions, Hazelnut Harmony is the product of getting finished in toasted American oak casks, which gives a sweet flavour of honey, vanilla and hazelnut to the whisky.

Each of these three expertly blended, no-age-statement blended malt whisky is non-chill filtered, natural in colour and bottled at 46 percent ABV.

All three Noble Rebel expressions are sealed with an emblem containing a droplet to represent the distillation process, a barrel to symbolise the maturation process, and a nosing glass in tribute to Loch Lomond Group’s blending prowess.

Each edition of Noble Rebel blended malt whisky is available from 16th February on the Noble Rebel website, having a RRSP £40 per 70cl bottle. Noble Rebel will also be available from 1st March 2023 at The Whisky Exchange.
