  • Known for its innovative approach to whisky production, Loch Lomond produces a wide range of whiskies, including single malts, blended malts and grain whiskies. Vic says: “This is an unusual grain whisky because it was made in a continuous Coffey still but with 100% malted barley. A lot of influence comes from the wood because grain spirit typically has less congeners (less flavour) than malt spirit. I think cask finishes with grain whisky are going to be the next big thing in the market.”

    I am very curious about this one, I think Compass Box Experimental Grain was sourced from Loch Lomond, so possibly the same?
    As per Single Grain whisky in Scotland, I've always wondered, if multiple grains can be used in the mash as long as it is from the same distillery.

      I think you're right, Loch Lomond was in the mix, along with majority North British & Cameronbridge (see here: goslingslimited.com/products/compass-box-experimental-grain-scotch-whisky). And, yes, despite the name, "single grain" refers to the fact that the whisky comes from a single Scottish distillery, not a single type of grain. It is usually a mixture (see here: edinburghwhiskyacademy.com/blogs/feature/categories-of-scotch-whisky-legal-definition-and-classifications)
