This46 year old expression is the second of three releases in Loch Lomond’s Remarkable Stills series. Distilled in 1974, the dram underwent an initial maturation in American oak casks before being finished in a combination of oloroso and Pedro Ximenez casks. The result is a perfectly balanced concoction of fruit and spice. Limited to 200 bottles, each displaying the distillery emblem, infilled with copper. Comes with an engraved wooden cork, a copper plaque for a label, and housed in a hand-made oak box.

Nose: Toffee and caramelised sugar with floral notes of rose, peach, mango, and vanilla syrup.

Palate: Opens with juicy ripe pear, fresh orange peel, and sweet melted brown sugar. There is cinnamon and clove spice before dried fruits of raisins and sultanas.

Finish: Long with green fruit, gooseberry, and lime, a toffee sweetness, and warming cinnamon and nutmeg spice.
