Loch Lomond (Ichfad) 9 Years Old Infrequent Flyers Batch 20

ABV: 58.4% 70 cL

This single malt was distilled in 2016 at the Loch Lomond Distillery in Scotland's Highland Region, using peated barley. Matured for 9 years, including 5 years and 7 months finishing period in a single virgin oak barrel, creating notes of candy floss, creme brulee and toasted oak. 

Bottled at natural cask strength, without chill-filtration or artificial colouring by Alistair Walker for his Infrequent Flyers collection. 

Nose

A peated variant from Loch Lomond, however the nose leans more towards velvety phenols and sweet iodine, rather than peat smoke. Fantastic presence of Cotton Candy green grapes.

Palate

This is weighty, a really bold dram. Candy floss, crème brûlée, caramelised toasted oak and dried figs. And those spicy nutmeg notes - tinglier than a Wham bar! Feisty one, this is.

£62.99

Tax included.

Loch Lomond, established in 1965 near Alexandria in the southern Highlands, is one of Scotland’s most versatile and technically distinctive distilleries. It uses a mix of traditional pot stills, unusual straight-neck pot stills, and continuous stills, allowing it to create a wide range of spirit styles under one roof. This flexibility results in whiskies that can be fruity, floral, lightly smoky, or richly spiced, often showing notes of orchard fruit, malt sweetness, and gentle wood influence. Known for innovation and variety, Loch Lomond has built a reputation for characterful malts shaped by its unique still designs and broad creative range.
