The Loch Lomond Distillery near Glasgow is famous for craftsmanship, low-volume production, and their unique distillation process. Inchmurrin is made there and it’s their top of the line product. You can buy Loch Lomond branded single malt Whisky, and you should because they do a smashing good job at it. So why create a separate branded single malt?
All we know is that it works. Inchmurrin is actually the name of a lovely island in the middle of the famous Loch Lomond—it’s verdant green rises up in the middle of the misty lake like Avalon. And maybe that’s the point. Inchmurrin-branded Whisky rises above their already great core line-up. It’s just a bit older, finer, rarer, and just plain delicious.
At at time when most production shops are falling back on non age statement (NAS) releases to keep up with demand, Inchmurrin 18 Year Old steps up and proudly shows that luxurious 18 right up front. And they should be proud. With global demand outstripping global capacity, it is hugely tempting—and profitable—to open up those casks a wee bit early and leave the age off the label to comply with the law.
Inchmurrin 18 Year Old Whisky is bottled at 46% ABV (perfection) and is never chill filtered, nor are there any artificial anythings in it. As they say, it’s the way nature intended Whisky to be. Inchmurrin is lightly peated, but the smoke is like a dash of sea-salt on caramels—it enhances the pleasure without punching you in the face. Inchmurrin 18 Year Old is strong, but not ridiculous; smooth, but prominent; and filled with character without becoming flamboyant.
SmartAss Corner
Loch Lomond Distillery has six special stills: three for wash and three for spirit, and all of them are “Lomond” stills. No one else uses them. Most stills are tapered at the top, but these are long, straight cylinders with “spirit trays” inside. This improves contact with cool alcohols and allows them to dial in a VERY precise flavour profile and proof—up to 85% ABV!

Inchmurrin
18 Year Old

First-class Whiskies are taxed not only by the state but also by the angels. This refers to the 4% of Whisky that evaporates from the barrels every year, a phenomenon known as the angel’s share.
Is Scotch always Scottish? What do you think? Yes. The answer is yes.
Blended Whiskies are the result of years of craftsmanship and dedication. A master blender does not simply wake up one day with a profound ability to create a cohesive and enjoyable liquid. From nosing the liquid to working out quantities of each different grain and malt to go into the blend, a master blender can take years, if not decades, to train.
Beer and malt Whisky seem to have quite a bit in common. Both drinks begin with malted barley, which deliver the enzymes and sugars needed for fermentation when steeped in hot water. The two go their separate ways at the wash stage, where they're fermented or aged to become the adult beverages you know and love.
Scotch Whisky is seldom aged in new barrels. Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey casks are usually used for maturation. In addition to that, Whisky is often matured or finished in various wine casks such as Sherry or Port.
Scotland is home to more than 20 million casks of maturing Whisky. That’s four for every person living there. Nuts!
