Description

On the palate of every seasoned whisky enthusiast, Loch Lomond’s Lee Westwood 24 Year Old strikes with the complexity and precision akin to the legendary golfer it’s named after. It is a spirit that captures the essence of time and the craft of whisky making, all entwined with the spirit of a champion. Here is an exploration of this venerable Scotch.

Tasting Notes

Appearance

In the glass, this esteemed spirit presents a rich golden amber hue—a prelude to the depth of flavours that await.

Nose

Upon the first nose, it unfurls a symphony of aromatic layers; it’s a calming stroll through an autumn orchard with notes of ripe fruits. The sweetness of vanilla and honey gently peeks through, followed by a subtle hint of smoked oak, a nod to its aging process.

Palate

The first sip reveals a velvety texture, the hallmark of its age. Flavours of dark chocolate and toasted almonds emerge, perfectly balanced with the warmth of cinnamon spice and a zest of citrus. There’s a maturity here that speaks of two and a half decades spent resting in casks, allowing every nuance of flavour to marry and intensify.

Finish

A slow and rewarding finish, much like the lingering finish on a perfectly struck golf shot. It leaves behind notes of earthy peat and a nuanced sweetness, a testament to its time spent aging on the shores of Loch Lomond.
