Inchmurrin 10 Year Old from 1990s (70cl, 40%)
Inchmurrin 10 Year Old produced in 1990s
Inchmurrin, named after the largest island within Loch Lomond’s freshwater loch, is Loch Lomond’s unpeated expression. The Loch Lomond distillery was founded in 1965 by Littlemill owner Duncan Thomas and the American Barton Brands. The distillery closed in 1984 following the era’s whisky bust. It was sold to Glen Catrine Bonded Warehouse Ltd in 1986, and production resumed a year later.
Loch Lomond distillery was an innovative project when first conceived, intending to be fully self-reliant in its blending responsibilities by producing a variety of single malt and grain whiskies on the same site. Loch Lomond has a unique equipment setup. The distillery operates a total of 11 stills of four different kinds, with which they’re able to produce eight different styles of whisky. The combination of swan-necked pot stills, Lomond stills and continuous stills, nowadays allow for the production of a staggering 11 distinct spirits.
Inchmurrin is a lightly peated whisky produced in limited amounts, in this case on specially designed pot stills with rectifying heads to allow a higher cut point in the distillation process.
