Review of
Loch Lomond Steam & Fire, finished in
Heavily Charred Casks Steam & Fire is
said to pay homage to the extensive
capabilities of the Loch Lomond
Distillery.
 The
journey of Loch Lomond Steam & Fire
commences with distillation in a
harmonious combination of Straight Neck
and traditional Swan Neck Pot Stills.
Subsequent maturation takes place within
first-fill Bourbon barrels and refill
American Oak casks. This single malt is
then bestowed with a distinctive
character during a 10-month long
finishing period in heavily charred
American Oak casks.

Tasting Notes:
Nose: Mild
vanilla toffee, honey, apple and distant
peach and lemon.
Taste: Apple
with a wee bit of a orange and peach
edge and the very slightest hint of
distant smoke all with a lovely gentle
brown sugared sweetness and a touch of a
vanilla.
Finish: Medium
finish, gentle sweet vanilla sugars bow
out first to leave equally gentle
slightly drying oak with the gentlest of
smoky edge's which bitters out.
Comment:
A very gentle nose, the gentle smoke and
oak does build and cling more to the
palate after a few mouthfuls and comes
more to the forefront, the fruit doesn't
hang around long.
