Loch Lomond Distillery has made waves in the whisky world with the launch of its most exclusive offering to date: a 50-year-old single malt Scotch whisky priced at £25,000.

Released yesterday, July 10, this rare spirit is limited to just 100 bottles, marking a significant milestone for the distillery.

Distilled in 1967, just a year after Loch Lomond’s iconic straight-neck stills began operation, this exquisite whisky has matured for half a century.

The result is a complex spirit that embodies the pinnacle of Scottish whisky craftsmanship.

Its flavour profile is described as a journey through time, featuring notes of oak spices, tropical fruits, and a finish of ginger and citrus.

The whisky’s journey to maturity involved a carefully orchestrated ageing process in refilled American oak casks, first-fill Bourbon barrels, and oloroso Sherry hogsheads.

Each stage imparted unique characteristics, resulting in a beautifully balanced spirit showcasing Loch Lomond’s distilling expertise.

Presented in a luxurious decanter befitting its status, the Loch Lomond 50-Year-Old is more than just a drink; it’s a collector’s item and a testament to the distillery’s heritage.

Due to its extreme rarity, interested buyers are advised to directly contact the distillery’s Prestige & Rare team for purchase inquiries.

This release celebrates Loch Lomond’s history and boldly enters the ultra-premium whisky market.

It positions the distillery among the world’s most prestigious spirit producers, offering whisky enthusiasts and collectors a rare opportunity to own a piece of Scotland’s distilling legacy, albeit at a premium price.
