Loch Lomond Whiskies has unveiled two new single malts from its Island Collection: Inchmoan 12 Year Old and Inchmoan Vintage 1992.
Available in the UK, Inchmoan 12 Year Old is made with a combination of malt whiskies from the distillery’s swan neck and straight neck stills to create an unconventional peat character.
Matured in a combination of re-charred American oak and bourbon oak casks, it has vanilla background notes and is bottled at 46% ABV.
Meanwhile the Inchmoan Vintage 1992 is said to have a rich and fruity flavour with subtle wood notes. It is bottled at 48.6% ABV.
Loch Lomond master blender Michael Henry said: “Our intriguing new Inchmoan expressions have been created to celebrate the history and heritage of the island and are the first heavily peated releases in the Loch Lomond Whiskies range.
“I have selected three different spirits each bringing a unique peat characteristic, whether that’s spicy, medicinal peat or smoky peat, to the Inchmoan 12 Year Old. This combination creates a balanced, complex peat character, highlighting some of the softer, spicier peat notes often masked by heavier peat flavours.”
Both whiskies are available to buy in the UK in 70cl bottles. Prices start at £44 for Inchmoan 12 Year Old and £199 for Inchmoan Vintage 1992.
