In 2017, Loch Lomond's owner signed a promotion agreement for its products in the expanding Chinese market; in June 2019, Loch Lomond's ties with China deepened further. Exponent Equity, the private equity fund that has been managing Loch Lomond Group (Loch Lomond Distillery's parent company) since 2014, announced it had sold the company to China's Hillhouse Capital for approximately $500 million to $550 million. Loch Lomond Distillery's equipment is extraordinary. When built in 1966, it was installed with a pair of straight neck stills. In 1990, another pair of stills was added. Four years later, a grain distillery was launched. In 1998, a pair of traditional pot stills was installed; in 2007, a single grain Coffey still was added, later supplemented by a third pair of straight neck stills. Now, the distillery boasts 13 stills of four completely different types! Of the 5 million liters of malt whisky produced annually at Loch Lomond Distillery, 3.5 million liters are distilled in Coffey stills for the popular Loch Lomond Single Grain Whisky (actually single malt, but not recognized as such by the SWA because no pot stills are used). Whiskies under the Loch Lomond brand have their spirit distilled in traditional stills and are blended with whisky distilled in straight neck stills before bottling. The Inchmurrin brand whisky comes from straight neck stills. Also from straight neck stills are the heavily peated Inchmoan brand whisky, and other brands not heavily promoted in official packaging (Inchfad, Glen Douglas, Craiglodge, and Croftengea). Other equipment includes a 9.5-ton full lauter mash tun, 10 stainless steel fermentation tanks (fermentation time 92-160 hours) dedicated to malt whisky processing. Additionally, there are 18 pieces of equipment dedicated to grain whisky processing. Regular releases include three brands: Loch Lomond, comprising Classic, Original, 10-year, 12-year, and 18-year expressions; Inchmurrin, with 12-year, 18-year whiskies and a Madeira wine cask finish; and Inchmoan 12-year and 1992 vintage. Duty-free products include Loch Lomond Single Grain, Signature blended Scotch, 12-year single malt, plus Inchmurrin Madeira cask finish, 10-year single cask, and 10-year Inchmoan. Limited editions include Loch Lomond The Open Special Edition (British Open Golf Championship) and a 50-year-old expression.

Had a dram that felt oddly like a night out after a Chinese takeaway – the whisky was “always funny”, a real laugh‑in‑your‑mouth kind of thing. The finish was medium, not too sharp, with a whisper of Schweppes Lemon and those prickly lemons you’d find on a beach holiday. Suddenly I was picturing a glass of white wine with Limoncello and Parmesan, almost like a cheesy lemon spritz, and then a bit of smoked porridge sneaking in at the back. It was a bit of “LOL!” moment, like the drink was winking at me, and I nearly tipped my hat to it. 🍋🥃

Honestly this one had me cackling 😂 First you get that un-sweet limoncello tang mixed with a little Parmesan cheese hit, then bags of lemongrass, prickly lemons like cheap Schweppes Lemon, even a weird whiff of ginger tonic? Then the medium finish brings out smoked porridge and a touch of dairy cream, reminded me of a daft Chinese takeaway night with the lads, always funny and often interesting. That Limoncello and Parmesan mix is so unlikely but it works? Sounds like holidays tbh, LOL!

Just had a dram that reminded me of grapefruit drops and a prickly lemon zing, with a hint of dairy cream and a whisper of lemon soda. Funny how it also made me think of a Chinese takeaway night, lemongrass bags on the side, and a cheeky Limoncello and Parmesan vibe. Medium finish, often interesting, and yeah, I’d almost recommend this one. LOL! 😄

This one’s got bags of lemongrass upfront, sharp and bright like grapefruit drops, but then there’s this odd Parmeggiano thing lingering – weirdly cheesy, but not awful. The ginger tonic bit gives it a proper kick, and the unidentified flying whisky notes make it all a bit chaotic, but in a way that works. Medium finish, nothing too loud. Rather good one, mind you, though not always pristine. There’s a smoked porridge vibe in the background, which sounds odd but actually reminds me of weekend mornings. Almost un-sweet limoncello tucked in there too, which is a bit LOL! Honestly, it’s the kind of dram that sounds like holidays, especially if you add a splash of Schweppes Lemon. Nice to sip slow, lets the flavours settle.

Right, this one's a bit of a mystery, isn't it? Like an unidentified flying whisky landing in your glass 😄 First sip - loads of lemongrass and that Schweppes Lemon vibe, almost like an un-sweet limoncello. Bit of prickly lemon zing that makes you go "LOL!" Sounds like holidays, honestly. Then there's this weird note... somewhere between white wine and ginger tonic. Not what I'd expect, but often interesting. Hints of grapefruit drops too, maybe even a touch of dairy cream coming through later. The middle bit's quite funny - I keep thinking of Chinese takeaway and carbon paper of all things. Not always pristine, but that's part of its charm. Some folks might get a Parmesan cheese vibe? I sort of get it, in an unlikely way. Medium finish, doesn't overstay its welcome. Would I recommend it? Well, I'd almost recommend this one. It's a rather good one if you fancy something different, just don't go in expecting a classic dram 🥃
