This 45 year old whisky is the 1st release in our Remarkable Stills series. The series
takes inspiration from our unique straight neck pot stills, which were installed at the
distillery in 1965 and give us the ability to control the style of spirit produced. Distilled in
1973, this liquid has been matured for 44 years in American oak followed by a further year
in a 1st fill Oloroso sherry cask. A total of 200 bottles were produced for the 1st release.
Craftsmanship is present from the start of the whisky making process to the final
packaging. The Loch Lomond Distillery emblem is sandblasted onto every bottle and
infilled with copper. The bottle is sealed with an embossed wooden cork that contains an
engraved metal band. A plaque is constructed from debossed copper and hand applied at
the last stage of production. The bottle is then enclosed in a handmade, beautifully crafted
oak wood box that has been stained and combined with a metallic element. Two halves of
the pack are joined together to form a graphic depiction of our straight neck pot still.
100% of the spirit for the 1st release is unpeated spirit from our unique straight neck pot
stills. These innovative stills give us superior control at the distillation stage, allowing the
spirit to be taken off at a higher collection strength. Spirit taken off at this strength has a
distinctive fruit character, which has become the Loch Lomond Distillery’s signature and
comes to the forefront of this release. Time and nature are then left to work their magic.
