A grain whisky that\u2019s only a pot still away from being a single malt
\nA grain whisky made only from malt? That\u2019s also smoky?<\/p>\n
Paradoxical spirits are something of a calling card for the whiskymakers at Loch Lomond Distillery who operate their site with seriously open minds. Compass Box managed to source some of their peated, Coffey-distilled whisky to create a blended grain with a difference.<\/p>\n
Experimental Grain Whisky is in many ways the alter ego to Hedonism, their signature expression. The smoke notes that the Loch Lomond parcel bestows are unlike anything they have used before: herbal, moss-like, clinging.<\/p>\n
The majority of Experimental Grain Whisky is comprised of grains from the Cameronbridge and North British distilleries. They bring notes of fudge, vanilla and set honey. On top of this the younger whisky from Loch Lomond layers impressions of pine forests and patchouli oil.<\/p>\n
Experimentation abounds throughout Scotland. For those who thought grain whisky was by default light and creamy, think again.<\/p>\n
