Loch Lomond The Open Course Special Edition 2025 Finished in Chianti Wine Casks, 46%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2025 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
Finished in first-fill chianti casks for 8 months, the aromas unwrap red apple, pear, layers of caramel and malt, and gentle puffs of smoke. Pressed apple juice, raspberry, red currant, baked pear, cinder toffee, vanilla, and soft smoke on the palate. The texture thickens beautifully, adding mellow flavors of dark chocolate and fruit pastilles. It’s a great session whisky, with a mouth-coating finish of cocoa-dusted orchard fruit.
