Open Edition 2026 46%

About

The Loch Lomond Open Edition 2026 exemplifies this Highland distillery's commitment to crafting engaging and distinctive single malts. Matured initially in ex-American oak and finished in ex-Argentinian Malbec casks, this 46% expression showcases the interplay between classic bourbon maturation and the rich, fruity influence of fine wine cask finishing. On the nose, expect dark berries, redcurrant and citrus zest alongside vanilla, honey and soft malt. The palate delivers blackberry, raspberry and peach syrup, layered with crisp apple and creamy vanilla notes. The finish carries a subtle ashy sweetness that adds complexity and intrigue. This is a well-balanced, fruit-forward whisky that rewards exploration—perfect for those seeking something different from the everyday.
