Look out for
the Loch Lomond Colin Montgomerie
Limited Edition whisky as the whisky
company has teamed up with the Scottish
golfer.
There has always been a close
affinity between two of Scotland's
greatest exports, whisky and golf and it
seems that Loch Lomond Whiskies are very
well aware of that as following on from
the announcement earlier this year that
Loch Lomond Whiskies had agreed a
five-year partnership with The Open
Championship the whisky company has now
agreed a high-profile partnership with
Scottish golfer Colin Montgomerie to
promote the brand’s range of award
winning single malts across the world.
The independent Scotch whisky distiller
announced in February this year that
they had agreed a five-year partnership
with The R&A to become Official Spirit
of The Open and Women’s British Open.
Teaming up with Colin Montgomerie is the
brand’s first individual sponsorship
agreement with a player.
Since turning professional in 1987,
Montgomerie has recorded 52 tournament
victories across the world and became
European #1 in 1993 – a position he held
for an unprecedented seven years. Ryder
Cup success followed as a player before
he led Europe to a famous victory as
Captain at Celtic Manor in 2010.
Montgomerie will now work with Loch
Lomond Whiskies to promote the full
product range worldwide, including two
"limited editions" specially created to
mark The 147th Open at Carnoustie as
well as a "Single Cask" edition that
will carry his name. Later in the year,
a "Colin Montgomerie" limited edition
single malt will also be released.
Montgomerie said: "I’m a long-time fan
of Scotch single malts and so am
absolutely delighted to work with the
team at Loch Lomond Whiskies who have
shown great passion and enthusiasm for
producing some fabulous whiskies of
great quality and character.
"As a proud Scot I know that Scotland is
world-renowned for both our whisky and
our unrivalled golf courses. I’m
passionate about telling the story of
both and was really impressed by the
quality, authenticity and diversity of
flavours of the Loch Lomond single
malts."
Colin Matthews, CEO of Loch Lomond
Group, said: "We’re extremely pleased to
welcome Monty to our team. As one of
Europe’s most successful and passionate
players over many years, our partnership
will allow us to further develop our
presence in golf.
"We look forward to working with Colin
as he helps us spread the message of
Loch Lomond Whiskies around the world."
You will find the current Loch Lomond available from specialist online whisky retailers such as The Whisky Exchange
