Loch Lomond 47 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Product Overview
Loch Lomond 47 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the third and final release in the distillery’s prestigious Remarkable Stills Series, representing the culmination of nearly five decades of patience, innovation, and mastery. Distilled in 1974 using Loch Lomond’s unique Straight Neck pot stills, this exceptionally rare whisky showcases the distillery’s ability to precisely shape spirit character through engineering-led distillation.
Crafted from 100% unpeated spirit, the whisky was collected at a higher strength to preserve vibrant orchard-fruit purity—now a defining hallmark of Loch Lomond’s house style. Initially matured in refill American oak casks to protect its delicate fruit core, it was re-racked after 43 years into second-fill Oloroso sherry casks, adding layers of dried fruit, tropical richness, and elegant complexity. After 47 years of aging, this final Remarkable Stills release stands as a profound expression of time, technique, and tradition.
