Loch Lomond 8YO Distillery Edition 5, 59.1% - Whisky Wednesday

Loch Lomond 8YO Distillery Edition 5, 59.1%

One of the reasons that we've all come to love Loch Lomond is experimentation. Not many other distilleries have four different types of still, their own cooperage, or as huge amount of unusual and standard liquid as Loch Lomomd. But what is most important is that if it works then they sell it! At a rather affordable price, too.

This is an 8YO release that was taken off of their straight neck pot stills at 85% ABV, then matured in a selection of American Oak casks. Prior to this very high distillation point, the mash was fermented using Chardonnay wine yeast. All of these rather incredible points have concluded in a very approachable cask strength liquid that smells like butter in all of its glorious forms.

This bottle costs £57, with free shipping, there were 68 left when I bought it, so probably not many left now. But it's worth keeping an eye on Loch Lomond's website in the future to see what other incredible releases pop up. Another contender for bargain of the year!
