Loch Lomond Whiskies has unveiled two exceptional new single malts from its Island Collection \u2013 Inchmoan 12 Year Old and Inchmoan Vintage 1992.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Inchmoan range are peated whiskies expertly married together by the Master Blender to complement the unique flavour and character of the Loch Lomond Distillery. Inchmoan single malts are part of the distillery\u2019s Island Collection alongside Inchmurrin, epitomising the diverse range of flavour profiles possible from the distillery\u2019s unique still configuration. Each range within the collection takes their names from the islands on Loch Lomond.<\/p>\n

Each expression is as subtly different as the islands themselves, developing unique characteristics which distinguish them from their neighbours. \u2018Inch-moan\u2019 means \u2018the island of the peat\u2019 in Scottish Gaelic as for centuries, the mainland inhabitants used Inchmoan Island as their source of peat fuel for village fires.<\/p>\n

Inchmoan 12 Year Old is born from a combination of malt whiskies from the distillery\u2019s traditional swan neck and unique straight neck pot stills to create an unconventional peat character with depth, marrying smoke and spiciness.<\/p>\n

Matured for 12 years in a combination of re-charred American oak and refill bourbon American oak casks, it imparts sweet vanilla background notes that complement the soft peat style of Loch Lomond\u2019s unique still set up. It is bottled at 46% ABV and non chill-filtered, resulting in a smooth taste.<\/p>\n

Limited release, Inchmoan Vintage 1992 is an exquisite single malt whisky distilled in 1992 from Scotland\u2019s finest ingredients exclusively in the distillery\u2019s unique straight neck pot still and collected at high strength.<\/p>\n

Aged for 25 years, the long maturation in refill bourbon barrels allows the spice-driven peat and fruit distillery character to combine with the softer influence of refill bourbon barrels to give a truly integrated, refined flavour. The result is an elegant, rich single malt with a beautiful balance of fruit and spicy peat. It is bottled at 48.6% ABV and non chill-filtered for a smooth taste and natural colour.<\/p>\n

Michael Henry, Master Blender at Loch Lomond distillery said: \u201cOur intriguing new Inchmoan expressions have been created to celebrate the history and heritage of the island and are the first heavily peated releases in the Loch Lomond Whiskies range.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have selected three different spirits each bringing a unique peat characteristic, whether that\u2019s spicy, medicinal peat or smoky peat, to the Inchmoan 12 Year Old. This combination creates a balanced, complex peat character highlighting some of the softer, spicier peat notes often masked by heavier peat flavours.\u201d<\/p>\n
