Loch Lomond 12 Years American Oak Rich Highland Single Malt Scotch [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Highland single malt that delivers exceptional richness without breaking the bank?

As a certified spirits specialist at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store, I’m consistently impressed by Loch Lomond 12 Years American Oak Rich Highland Single Malt Scotch. This Premium expression showcases the distillery’s innovative straight-neck pot still technique, creating a distinctively smooth character that sets it apart from conventional Highland malts. The 12-year maturation in American oak casks imparts beautiful vanilla and toffee notes that rival expressions twice its price. For comparison, explore the Loch Lomond Signature or the fuller 750ml version for larger gatherings.
