Loch Lomond
distillery completes its Remarkable
Stills series of single malt whiskies
with the release of a Loch Lomond 47
Year Old.
 Loch Lomond Whiskies has completed its
Remarkable Stills series of high-aged
single malt whiskies with the release of
Loch Lomond 47 Year Old.
The third and final release in this
exclusive collection, Loch Lomond 47
Years Old is limited to 200 bottles
globally, making it one of the rarest to
be released by the distillery. It
follows Loch Lomond 45 Years Old and
Loch Lomond 46 Years Old to complete the
range.
The Remarkable Stills Series is inspired
by the distiller’s unique Straight Neck
pot stills. These incredible stills give
master blender Michael Henry the
creative freedom to explore flavour in a
more inventive way, carefully shaping
the character of the whisky at the point
of distillation, revealing distinctive
fruit notes at a higher collection
strength. As the only distiller in
Scotland to use these innovative stills,
Loch Lomond Whiskies’ approach to
whisky-making is entirely unique, and
allows it to craft an extraordinary
flavour profile which is unlike anything
else.
First distilled in the 1970s, Lomond 47
Year Old began its journey in refill
American Oak casks where it quietly
matured on the banks of Loch Lomond for
43 years before finishing in 2nd fill
Oloroso Sherry casks, which adds
additional dried, tropical fruit notes
to compliment the distillery’s notable
style characterised by orchard fruit.
Like its predecessors, Loch Lomond 47
Year Old is an unpeated whisky. On the
nose it conveys toffee, orange and green
apple with floral notes of rose followed
by sultanas, cinnamon and nutmeg. The
palette opens with a velvety mouthfeel,
hints of caramel and vanilla are met
with crisp green apple, melon and kiwi
fruit complement floral notes of
elderflower. The finish is long,
initially sweet flavours of melted brown
sugar followed by mouth-watering lime
citrus and gently warming cinnamon
spice. It is bottled at 44.3% ABV.
Natural in colour, the final product
captures the story of Loch Lomond
Whiskies’ innovative and imaginative
spirit, underpinned by its unique
capabilities.
Loch Lomond 47 Years Old is presented in
a beautifully hand-crafted oak box with
a copper centre inspired by the stills
themselves.
Loch Lomond Whiskies Master Blender,
Michael Henry said: “It is our unique
Straight Neck Stills which set us apart
from others. As the only distillery In
Scotland to use these stills, our whisky
making process is truly innovative and
entirely one of a kind.
"Created in tribute to this incredible
feat of engineering, our Remarkable
Stills Series is as rare as the stills
themselves. With only 200 bottles of
each release available worldwide, every
edition is as special as the one before
it.
"Loch Lomond 47 Years Old is the final
piece of this collection – a
distinctively fruity single malt with an
array of complex and complementary
notes. It is a single-malt of
exceptional character that perfectly
captures the imagination and curious
spirit of the Loch Lomond Whiskies
distillery."
As you would expect for such a rare dram
you will need deep pockets if you want
to taste it, the Loch Lomond 47 Year Old
Single Malt has a RRP of £5750. Each
edition of the Remarkable Stills Series
is limited to just 200 bottles making it
one of the rarest collections of
whiskies ever released by Loch Lomond
Whiskies. Every bottle has been
individually numbered to showcase its
rarity.
You will find the Loch Lomond 47 Year
Old available from specialist online whisky
shops such as
The Whisky Exchange,
