Loch Lomond Coffey Still Single Grain - Cooper's Collection 2022 Mizunara Wood Cask Finish
Loch Lomond
Tasting Notes
This single grain whisky from Loch Lomond is a delightful treat for whisky enthusiasts. Crafted using their copper Coffey still and distilled from 100% malted barley, it showcases the art of blending and cask finishing. Initially matured in American oak casks, it's then finished in Japanese Mizunara oak, imparting a unique woody spice character. The nose is a delightful interplay of sweet nougat, floral honey, forest fruits, and rich oak char. On the palate, baked apples and pears dusted with cinnamon are followed by roasted almonds and a touch of cedar, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. The finish dries out with notes of stewed tea and oaken spice, complemented by caramelized biscuits and cakey spice, leaving a lingering warmth on the tongue. This limited release is a true testament to the skill of Loch Lomond's master blender, Michael Henry, and a must-try for those seeking a unique and flavorful single grain experience.
