Loch Lomond Launches the Waypoint Series
Loch Lomond Whiskies has announced the launch of the Waypoint Series, a new collection of whiskies inspired by its iconic setting on the banks of Loch Lomond.
Each expression in the Waypoint Series will represent a significant waypoint in the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. The first release in the series tells the story of the Falls of Falloch, a hidden gem nestled within the park, where a roaring waterfall passes through the striking Glen of Falloch.
Loch Lomond Waypoint Series Falls of Falloch is a 16 year old single malt distilled exclusively in Loch Lomond’s swan neck stills. It was initially matured in three kinds of ex-bourbon American Oak casks, then finished in ex-Cognac casks for 12 months before being bottled non-chill filtered and of natural color at 46.2% ABV.
Loch Lomond Waypoint Series Falls of Falloch is described as having aromas of “soft citrus and honey blossom.” The palate “opens with a sweetness of stewed apple, honeysuckle and honey blossom before oak notes from the Cognac barrel come to the fore.” The finish is “medium with notes of soft citrus.”
Loch Lomond Waypoint Series Falls of Falloch is presented in a box featuring hand-drawn artwork by Welsh illustrator Brett Breckon. The illustration describes a mythical journey through dense trees, fauna, and flora to the majestic Falls of Falloch.
Loch Lomond Waypoint Series Falls of Falloch is now available through The Whisky Shop and will be rolled out to global retailers in the coming month for a recommended retail price of £82.
