At Loch Lomond Whiskies whisky and golf are timeless rituals that bring people together. Whether it’s a quiet evening or a day on the course, every dram is a moment worth sharing.

Crafted with the same rhythm and care as a well-played round, these whisky blends tradition with thoughtful innovation to create something truly memorable.

Single Malt
Crafted at a single distillery with malted barley, water, and yeast, single malt Scotch is known for its rich depth and character. At Loch Lomond, traditional pot stills are combined with unique straight neck stills and long fermentation for bold, fruity complexity.

Single Grain
Lighter and smoother than single malt, single grain whisky offers versatility and approachability. 100% malted barley is used to produce the world’s only peated single grain expression.

Blended Whisky
Blended Scotch brings together single malts and grains for smooth balance — and makes up 90% of global Scotch sales.

Loch Lomond Tasting Notes (Core Range)

Loch Lomond Original – Light and floral with subtle peat and honeyed cereal notes.

Loch Lomond Inchmurrin 12 Year Old – Fruity and sweet with pear, peach, and creamy vanilla.
Loch Lomond 18 Year Old – Rich and elegant with dark fruits, chocolate, and baking spices.

Since 2018, Loch Lomond Whisky has proudly served as the Official Spirit of The Open and AIG Women’s Open, a partnership that brings together two icons of tradition and excellence.
