Hi,

Tried a google search with no joy. The SMWS latest outturn has a new distillery (135). Anyone in the know as to what this is?

It's a highland 16yo in the sweet, fruity and mellow category.

I assumed I could figure it out by studying the list of SMWS distillery codes http://www.scotchmaltwhisky.co.uk/smwsdistillerycodesnumerical.htm and finding the missing Highland distillery that would have been producing 16 years ago but it has me stumped.

One Highland region malt which comes to mind which SMWS haven't yet bottled is Inchmoan from Loch Lomond, it is usually sweet and fruity but also peaty so perhaps it is not Inchmoan. Its the only Highland region malt I can think of.

Didtillate from the Pot Still at Loch Lomond. 100% reliable source.

I believe that Inchmurrin has the SMWS code 112

Could this be a new Loch Lomond 'derivative'? Wink

It is likely Loch Lomond Inchmoan as jcarrick suggested.
