 Loch Lomond Whiskies, The Official
Spirit of The Open, has released its
first triple cask matured single malt
Scotch whisky, the Loch Lomond Three
Wood Matured 25 Year Old
The new 500 bottle limited edition
expression was created as a tribute to
Loch Lomond Whiskies golf ambassador
Colin Montgomerie’s glorious three wood
shot that helped secure victory for
Europe in the 1997 Ryder Cup.
Matured in refill American oak before
being matured for up to six months in a
combination of first fill Limousin oak
and Oloroso sherry casks, the Loch
Lomond Three Wood Matured 25 Year Old
Single Malt Scotch Whisky unites two of
Scotland's greatest exports, single malt Scotch whisky and
golf.
Colin Montgomerie – better known to his
fans as Monty – is one of the UK’s most
successful golfers, since turning professional in 1987,
Montgomerie has recorded 53 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
including his legendary three wood tee
shot on the 18th hole at Valderrama in
1997 that secured victory for Europe by
a single point and gained him “Shot of
the Year”.
He later famously led Europe to success
as Captain at Celtic Manor in 2010.
Montgomerie said: "As a proud Scot I
know that Scotland is world-renowned for
both our whisky and our unrivalled golf
courses. I am thrilled that the Loch
Lomond Three Wood Matured 25 Year Old
Single Malt will celebrate both worlds.
"My shot at Valderrama is one that will
live long in the memory for me. To know
that it has inspired a Single Malt and
one which carries my signature is a huge
honour. I hope that golfers and whisky
fans alike will enjoy a dram as much as
I have."
Created by Montgomerie in partnership
with Loch Lomond Master Blender Michael
Henry, the Loch Lomond Three Wood
Matured 25 Year Old is described as a beautifully
balanced single malt Scotch Whisky offering
fruit notes of peach and pear, with
subtle floral and perfumed notes, it is
enhanced by cloves and cinnamon on the
finish.
Presented in an elegant black and red
gift box that celebrates Monty’s golfing
achievements, the Loch Lomond Triple
Wood Matured 25 Year Old has been
bottled at 46.3% ABV and has a RRP of
£250. A limited release of 500 bottles
which will be available from specialist online whisky
retailers such as
The Whisky Exchange,
