Remarkable Scottish fairytale with a Portuguese twist.
The story of Loch Lomond is a story of ancient clans that surrounded Lake Lomond and their values and traditions. The first distillery was located on the far north of the lake in 1814 but disappeared somewhere in the 19th century. The new one was founded in 1964 near Glasgow and it's still making fantastic Whiskies. The name of this expression, Inchmurrin, comes from a tiny island on the lake, and it's a part of a special Single Malt collection.
Inchmurrin Madeira Wood Finish is a wonderful no-age-statement delight, bottled at 46% ABV. It spent some time in American white oak barrels, followed by extra finishing in casks that used to hold fortified Madeira wine. They enhanced the fruit character of peach and pear and gave this Scotch a long oaky finish. And we're not the only ones loving this Spirit. It won four medals, including two golden at San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Rightfully so, because it's a misty oak fairytale with a captivating Portuguese twist at the end.
