Whisky of the Week review and tasting notes for whisky from the Highland Region in Scotland. Highland single malts are single malt Scotch whiskies produced in the Highland region of Scotland. This category includes the whiskies produced on the islands around Scotland. However it excludes Islay.
I have tried many of the releases from Loch Lomond, but have not written about the entry-level release; the Loch Lomond Original single malt Scotch whisky. So today I write about the last Loch Lomond mini from my stash that I have tasted but not yet captured.
Looking at the blog, I realised last week that I have been trying a mixture of blended malts, such as Black Bottle, as well as Islay and Highland drams.

Looking for a bold, smoky whisky with a modern edge? The Noble Rebel Smoke Symphony blends rich peat, charred fruit, and Rioja wine cask influence—creating a layered dram that’s perfect for adventurous whisky lovers craving something fresh yet familiar.
I am looking back at a dram I tasted last year during my visit to the Loch Lomond Distillery: The Loch Lomond Inchmurrin 12 year old single malt whisky. During August last year, I had the opportunity to go on a Loch Lomond distillery tour at their facility in Alexandria, located in the Scottish Highlands.
