Loch Lomond Distillery Tasting at Milroys of Soho 24th October, 2022 – Scotch Whisky News

LOCH LOMOND TASTING with Gary Mills

The original distillery held a set of pot stills with rectifying plates in their necks (also known as Straight Neck Pot stills), allowing different flavour streams to be produced. Expansion in 1990 saw a second pair of the same design being installed, before the distillery installed two continuous stills three years later in which to make its own grain whisky. Two ‘traditional’ swan neck pot stills were added in 1998, before an additional continuous still, set up to produce grain whisky from a 100% malted barley mash, was installed in 2007.

With the recent addition of two more Straight Neck Pot stills, Loch Lomond has the capability to produce 11 different distillates for its whisky brands (not including the spirit coming from Glen Scotia). Wine yeasts have also been used to help create different flavours. In many ways it is more akin to a Japanese approach to distilling than a Scottish one. In this particular evening Gary Mills will talk us through their expressions with a real breadth of flavours!
