Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы описывают виски как фруктово-сладкий, с яблоком, карамелью и специями, с лёгким дымом и заметной вариативностью между носом и вкусом. Мнения о качестве расходятся: часть отзывов хвалит глубину и баланс, часть считает его заурядным.
развернуть подробно
В отзывах нос чаще всего описывается как фруктовый и сладкий: яблоки (в том числе печёные), груши, красный виноград, тропические фрукты, слива, а также карамель, мёд, ваниль и специи — корица, гвоздика, анис. Несколько отзывов отдельно отмечают лёгкий дым или дымок (в том числе ассоциации с BBQ-коптильней и холодным камином), а также солёные, йодистые, минеральные и травянистые ноты. Во вкусе повторяются карамель, мёд, яблоко, специи (корица, гвоздика, чёрный перец, имбирь), кожа, сухофрукты, ореховые и «каменистые» оттенки; часть отзывов упоминает маслянистость и среднюю полноту тела, другие — лёгкую водянистость. Финиш в разных отзывах варьируется от короткого/средне-короткого до среднего и длинного, с дубовыми танинами, специями, цитрусовой цедрой, мёдом, дымом и солёно-минеральными нотами.
Общий тон отзывов неоднороден. Часть текстов прямо говорит о приятном, гармоничном и сбалансированном виски с глубиной и сложностью, хорошим соотношением цены и возраста и «отличной ценностью за деньги»; другие называют его «неплохим, но ничем особенным», отмечают сырую алкогольную ноту в носу и лёгкую горьковатость/торфяность, искажающую впечатление. Несколько отзывов подчёркивают необычность профиля и его отличие от других релизов Loch Lomond, а также то, что вкус заметно отличается от носа. Упоминается, что виски не фильтрован холодом, но содержит краситель, и что он выдержан в американском дубе с дозреванием во французском дубе Limousin.

Distilled in straigth necks pot stills, aged in american oak (ex-bourbon, refill and recharred) casks and finished in limousin oak (probably ex-cognac) casks. Absolutely different on the palate than on the nose. However, an interesting whisky worth trying.
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 85 | Very fruity and "classic scotch". Interesting and pleasant. Green and red apples, red grapes, honey, fresh wood, vanilla, mineral and a floral hint. |
| Вкус | 86 | Slightly creamy and warm mouthfeel. Here the limousin oak casks are upfront, being an absolutely different whisky than on the nose. Dark and spiced. Fresh leather, wet aerth, dates, cherries, cinnamon, clove and a hint of ashes. |
| Финиш | 84 | Medium to short finish, Oaky, tannins, honeyed and a bit rose-y. |

Overall, I really liked it; it is a wonderful whisky smooth enough for easy drinking yet robust enough to offer some body. It presents rich aromas and flavors, possessing a certain depth and complexity; with notes that are sweet, salty, spicy, and even slightly tart, it offers a multifaceted experience that is truly satisfying. Considering its price and age, it is a very reasonable choice. I wouldn't hesitate to say it offers excellent value for money; it is definitely worth keeping a bottle on the shelf. Cheers.
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 84 | Upon opening the bottle and bringing it close to my nose, my initial impressions are of distinctly salty, iodine-like, and slightly tart aromas, immediately followed by a pleasant scent of sweet apple. After letting it sit in a Glencairn glass for 15 minutes, I detect a very clean, cool wood smoke or perhaps the scent of dry tree bark accompanied by notes of tart plum or fermented fruit, along with lactic undertones that I don't encounter very often. When I return to it after a while, the dry wood scent is joined by sweet aromas like vanilla, custard, and pastry cream, followed by notes of red fruit preserves (such as sour cherry and apple) and distinct sugary caramel; yet, a tartness consistently lingers in the background. Swirling the glass slightly reveals without becoming overly aggressive herbal notes reminiscent of dry, green meadow grasses. |
| Вкус | 85 | The moment the first sip touches my palate, I perceive sweetness; then, much like other Loch Lomond expressions, an intense spiciness kicks in, giving it a robust feel. It is lively, with intense and highly aromatic flavors; it feels slightly drying rather than juicy though not particularly oily so I would describe it as medium-bodied. My initial impressions include distinct heather honey and caramel sweetness, alongside notes of charred black oak smoke; oak spices and black pepper generate a pleasant warmth without being harsh. By the second sip, the sweetness shifts toward a malty character, and as I continue to savor it, I detect notes reminiscent of the coast dry meadow grass, a touch of sea salt, and a hint of minerality. With the third and fourth sips, the dominant honey note remains, now accompanied by fruit flavors like citrus, apple, peach, and nectarine, while those coastal notes continue to make a subtle appearance in the background. |
| Финиш | 84 | On the finish, notes of charred black oak smoke and warming spices such as ginger and black pepper emerge as it goes down the throat; however, these quickly mellow, giving way to citrus peel, peach, apple, and heather honey as you exhale through the nose. As the sweetness begins to subside, subtle notes of salt, iodine, seaweed, and minerals come to the fore, accompanied by natural, vegetal aromas like damp earth and dried green herbs indeed, these are the final flavors perceived before the finish concludes. It has a finish ranging from medium to long. |

So far, I have a strange wood in the aroma. Over time, I'm probably finding the apple with spices and the light smoke, as the label suggests. I would like the fruit in the apple, and with the wood, maybe even the orchard, but I don't particularly like the aroma. The taste is more fun, sweetness, fruitiness, to the point where I feel like it's bubbling in my mouth. It's an interesting feeling, but I really do feel the sparkle. Ripe fruit, a bit of apples, a wooden box of apples, quite fresh. The taste is also no miracle, certainly better than the aroma, but it impressed with its freshness and sparkle. A little lemon in the finish, but only slightly and pleasantly sour.

This release was produced using spirits distilled on Lomond's signature straight-neck pot stills, a hybrid between a standard still and a Coffey column still. These stills, by adjusting the position of the plates, allow for controlled reflux. The spirits were initially matured in American oak casks (bourbon, refill, and re-charred), and then finished in French Limousin oak casks. This release was crafted under the supervision of master blender Michael Henry, bottled at 46% ABV, and was not chill-filtered but tinted. Nose: A rounded, monolithic, caramel-fruity aroma with a pleasant spicy character. Burnt caramel, fruity toffee, baked apple with cinnamon, dried pear, pomegranate juice, strawberry jam, jam bun, varnished old piano. Palate: Rich, smooth, composed, buttery. Caramelized apple, strawberry jam, dried orange peel, cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, gingerbread, noble oak. Finish: The finish is powerful, warming, and spicy. Caramel, dried apple, pear, sweet spices, and pleasant astringent tannins. Balance: a harmonious, cohesive, balanced, and deep whisky with a fruity, spicy profile. Additional maturation in French oak barrels has had an interesting effect, bringing noble, spicy nuances to the flavor profile of this release. N22, P21, F21, B22

Conclusions: A very decent and pleasant Loch Lomond. Its profile is quite close to that of the regular 14yo (WB220519), but in terms of richness, depth and refinement it is still somewhat inferior to Sparring Partner. Score 83/84. Sparring partner: Loch Lomond 14 yo, WB220519.

Loch Lomond 14 *Age statement: 14 years old. *Alcohol percentage at least 46%: yes, 46%. *Amount of filtration: stated on the front of the bottle as non-chillfiltered. *Use of caramel coloring {E150a}: contains coloring. (3 out of 4, regarding craft/integrity presentation and communication). Without water Nose/olfaction: almonds, i.e., a sort of nuttiness, sweet stone fruit scent, a feint sense of soda pop. Palate/gustation: oily, really oily it coats the mouth with fat; quite closed, more stone fruit, some vanilla, and a bit of cinnamon. Finish/coda: again with the stone fruit and a bit of spice. With water Nose/olfaction: a bit rougher, more floral notes. Palate/gustation: sweetness subsides and the spices take over. Finish/coda: more fresher, brighter, and loses its sharpness, although it stays quite big. Loch Lomond is a Chameleon, it comes in all forms and flavors, this one has been finished in Cognac casks. Sometimes this influence becomes a bit more pronounced, by presenting a whisky that has clearly been dressed by some affable eau de vie, but tonight it mostly makes me think of nectarines and spices. There is some smoke in there, but it’s not very pronounced, making me think that there might me some Inchmurrin style Lomond in here, although they note that this is a reflection of the age. I have a hard time believing that though, because the industrial character of Loch Lomond I love is hardly recognizable here.

A bit of an unusual but pleasing Loch Lomond. The nose is not very typical, but the taste rather is. I like it!
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 87 | Fruity and sweet, has an odd note which I cannot describe, but it is a bit like marzipan. There is some woodsmoke, like a bbq smoker, note in here after a while. Together with some autumn forest notes. |
| Вкус | 88 | The distinguished note of Loch Lomond is here! I like it, a lot don't. It is sweet with baked apple, some spices like cinnamon, cardamom and five spice. |
| Финиш | 87 | Medium length. Thick sweet syrup. Some wood notes without getting bitter. Again some baked apples are on the background. |

I simply cannot get warm with Loch Lomond distillery, despite they have clearly improved over the past few years. This particular whisky is not bad per se, just nothing to write home about.

Different from LL 14 Fruit and Cinnamon from a few years back. More approachable and fruity with less wood influence. Not saying it is per se better than the old 14, but maybe better suited for an "advanced entry level" tasting.
