Loch Lomond
Group’s single malts scoops a trio of
Best in Class accolades at the World
Whiskies Awards 2018.
Loch
Lomond Group's range of single malts
continue to get noticed, this time the
groups Loch Lomond and Glen Scotia
single malts have triumphed across a
range of categories at the 2018 World
Whiskies Awards.
The
Loch
Lomond Inchmoan 12 Year Old
Single Malt, which is produced at the
group’s Alexandria distillery on the
banks of Loch Lomond won the highly
competitive Best Highland Malt 12 and
Under category, while the group’s Glen
Scotia distillery in Campbeltown scooped
a further two Best in Class awards.
Glen Scotia 18 Year Old
Single Malt was crowned Best Campbeltown
Malt 13-20 while Glen Scotia Campbeltown
1832, which is part of Loch Lomond
Group’s global travel retail range, was
named Best Campbeltown Malt No Age.
Each of these Best in Class single malts
then went forward for the chance to win
‘Best in Region’ with the Glen Scotia
Campbeltown 1832 being awarded the
coveted accolade of Best Campbeltown
Malt 2018.
The Loch Lomond Inchmoan 12 Year Old
Single Malt is born from a combination
of malt whiskies from the distillery’s
traditional swan neck and unique
straight neck pot stills to create a
peat character with a lot of depth,
marrying smoke and spiciness. It is
matured for 12 years in a mix of
recharred American oak and refill
bourbon American oak casks giving sweet
vanilla background notes that complement
the soft peat style of Loch Lomond
Whiskies’ unique still set up.
The Glen Scotia 18 Year Old Single Malt
is finished in Oloroso sherry casks and
embodies the signature aromas of
Campbeltown, with hints of vanilla oak
interwoven with subtle notes of sea
spray and spicy aromatic fruits. It
imparts rich deep vanilla fruit
flavours, with mild hints of apricot,
pineapple and plump sultana. Its finish
is long and dry, with gentle warming
spice.
The higher peat content of Glen Scotia
Campbeltown 1832 delivers a truly
individual single malt whisky with a
sweet and smoky character. Golden syrup,
spiced apple and vanilla flavours are
balanced by light medicinal peat notes
to give a beautifully rounded finish.
Held annually, the World Whiskies Awards
aim to showcase the very best whiskies
in each global category. Over 1,000
brands were entered this year and
blind-tasted by more than 40 expert
judges across the world.
Colin Matthews, CEO of Loch Lomond
Group, said: “We are extremely proud of
our innovative single malts and the
recognition that they have received by
industry leaders from all over the
world.
"Our success is testament to our
innovative production methods and the
skills and craftsmanship championed at
our Loch Lomond and Glen Scotia
distilleries."

and Glen Scotia 18 year old
