Description
The Loch Lomond Inchmurrin Madeira Wood Finish is a fascinating single malt Scotch whisky that is known for its special maturation in Madeira wine casks. This maturation gives the whisky exceptional depth and a complex balance of fruity, spicy and sweet flavours. With an alcohol content of 46% vol., this whisky presents itself in its natural form – without chill-filtration, which preserves its variety of flavours and intensity.
Produced at the renowned Loch Lomond Distillery, which is known for its versatility and willingness to experiment, this Inchmurrin has a soft, elegant structure and a fine fruity sweetness. The ageing in Madeira casks brings out rich notes of dried fruit, honey and nuts, while the basic characteristics of the Loch Lomond malt are retained with fresh fruit flavours and a gentle spiciness. This whisky is an excellent example of how cask selection shapes and refines the character of a whisky.
