Loch Lomond's Coffey still methods fell outside the SWA's 2009 regulation change on single malt production, but its peated malt single grain becomes a key ingredient here. Vanilla, honey, sanded oak with a green herbal edge, aniseed, peppermint, fondant cream, and dry-smoked barbecued meat aromas. The palate is light, with bright citrus, herbal notes, spices, vanilla, and rum and raisin before surrendering to the burnt smokiness. (6,142 bottles)
