I wrote previously about getting some whisky for my birthday and this is the other one. It is from Loch Lomond Whiskies. This is their Classic single malt and may be one of their cheaper options.
As the bottle says this distillery has been around for over 200 years, so they should know their stuff. I do like that each company has their own bottle designs. It is tempting to collect them, but they would just collect dust and it is the contents I am actually interested in.
I am drinking it straight tonight to get the full effect. It is quite smooth and almost chewy. I see people saying it is smoky, but I am not getting too much of that. There is a little spice and maybe some toffee. I am just not very good at describing tastes. I will just say that I find it a very pleasant drink. It may lack the subtleties of more refined malts, but I could happily drink more. I will not have too much as I need to work tomorrow.
I think this is my first encounter with this whisky and it has been a good one.
Cheers.
