Loch Lomond is one of the few distilleries producing both grain and malt whisky. This is however, the first ever single grain I've tried from them. 46%abv is good news, I think they usually bottle at 40%abv. This is one of 6500 bottles(!). No chill-filtering, no colouring... nice! But is that enough to make for a decent 5yo grain-whisky? The color is straw/pale. It smells rice vinegar, wheat, leather, vanilla, floral, watercress, marzipan, white wine, mint. The taste is very sweet, vanilla candy, minty, fresh and floral, grassy notes, a bit of honey and stewed onions. The finish is light, some dry apple cider and floral notes. This is an easy-drinking aperitif grain with good flavors and no heavy notes.
Pleasant: 6
Next tasting: Glen Garioch
