This bottling of a 44-year-old Loch Lomond single malt, an original distillery bottling, was distilled in 1966 and was the distillery’s oldest available whisky at the time of bottling in 2011.
Loch Lomond is a distillery in Alexandria in the south of Loch Lomond, a loch of the same name in Scotland. It was founded in 1964, closed between 1984 and 1987 and is now owned by the Hillhouse Capital Group, an investment company from China. In 1993, a Coffey still was added for continuous grain whisky production, making it the only company in Scotland that produces both malt and grain whisky in one distillery and can therefore offer a single blend.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
