Inchmurrin Madeira Wood Finish - Loch Lomond Island Collection 2015 (70cl, 46%)
Inchmurrin is the name of one of the islands in Loch Lomond, and this forms part of the distillery's Island Collection. A non-age statement expression, this was finished in Madeira wood and was officially launched in 2015. Inchmurrin Madeira Wood Finish is aged initially in ex-bourbon casks before being finished in casks that used to hold Madeira.
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. 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.
