Smoky & Sweet – But Is It A Malt Or A Grain?

We have used a special parcel of whisky made at the Loch Lomond Distillery from peated malted barley, distilled in their copper Coffey still. Despite this being 100% malted barley, the use of a column rather than a pot still during distillation means this cannot be classified as a single malt – it is the perfect spirit around which to build a unique blended grain Scotch whisky.

Experimental Grain Whisky is in many ways the alter ego to Hedonism, our signature expression. The smoke notes that the Loch Lomond parcel bestows are unlike anything we have used before: herbal, moss-like, clinging The majority of Experimental Grain Whisky is comprised of grains from the Cameronbridge and North British distilleries. An appetizing aroma of contrasts: banana and toffee mingle with soft, savory barbecue smokiness and hints of rum and raspberry. Enjoy a soft and oily palate of almond and vanilla before a curiously delicious flavor of burnt pine cones develops.
