Loch Lomond bringt zwei neue limitierte Abfüllungen für das Golf Open in Liverpool

Unsere Leser kennen sie bereits, denn wir haben über sie hier im Januar und hier vor wenigen Tagen als TTB-Neuheiten berichtet – nun sind sie offiziell angekündigt: Für das Golf Open in Liverpool bringt Loch Lomond den Loch Lomond The Open Course Edition 2023 und den Loch Lomond The Open Special Edition 2023. Währen ersterer Whisky ohne Altersangabe abgefüllt wurde und in UK um 45 Pfund erhältlich sein wird, so ist der Loch Lomond The Open Special Edition 2023 22 Jahre alt und wird 240 Pfund kosten. In UK sind sie jetzt erhältlich, bei uns werden sie wohl auch nicht lange auf sich warten lassen.

Was gibt es geschmacklich über die beiden Whiskys zu sagen? Der Loch Lomond The Open Course Edition 2023 soll in der Nase Noten von Honig, Pfirsich, Melone, Zitrone und Ingwer zeigen, am Gauen dann Noten von Grapefruit, Vanille, Karamell, Ananas und Mango am Gaumen.

Der Loch Lomond The Open Special Edition 2023 bringt in der Nase Noten von Rose, Beerenfrüchten, Pfirsich und Birne, der Gaumen hingegen bringt den Geschmack von roten Beeren, Obstgartenfrüchten, Himbeerpfirsich, cremiger Vanille und dunkler Schokolade.

Eine Neuheit bei beiden Flaschen ist, dass man auf den Verpackungen einen QR-Code findet, mit denen man eine Augmented Reality erfahrung starten kann, die auf unterhaltsame Weise auch viel Wissen über Golf vermitteln soll.

Michael Henry has the creative freedom to explore flavour in a more inventive way, carefully shaping the character of the whisky at the point of distillation. The final result is an elegant spirit with a distinctive fruit flavour.

Loch Lomond Open Course Edition (£240) is an Organic 22 Years Old single malt whisky distilled in 2000 on the banks of Loch Lomond. A highly exclusive whisky, with only 4,500 bottles available globally, it is finely crafted in tribute to the people, players and courses at the heart of The Open.

Certified Organic and distilled in a combination of the remarkable Straight Neck Stills and more traditional Swan Neck Stills, it is a complex whisky which perfectly showcases Loch Lomond Whiskies’ adeptness and ingenuity in whisky making.

Adding to this year’s golf range is Loch Lomond Open Special Edition (£45). This exceptional single malt whisky was created in partnership with Loch Lomond Whiskies’ long term golf ambassador, Colin Montgomerie – one of Scotland’s most legendary golfing figures. The whisky was aged in American Oak casks before finishing its maturation journey in the rich red wine Rioja Alta Reserva cask which brings out the whisky’s unique notes of red berry, orchard fruit and creamy vanilla with dark chocolate which complement the soft smoke on the finish.

Both Loch Lomond Open Course Collection and Loch Lomond Open Special Edition are non-chill filtered to keep things as nature intended.

“Our golf range is always incredibly popular, and these two new limited-edition single malt whiskies will not disappoint.
“We have been distilling whisky on the banks of Loch Lomond since 1814, crafting fine single malts which are every bit as delicious as the landscape is stunning. Pushing the boundaries of distillation, we explore new and inventive ways to bring flavour to life.
“These new exceptional and complex single malts epitomise our ingenuity in whisky making, perfectly showcasing what is possible with our unique Straight Neck Stills.”
