SKU #1547433

Whisky Advocate
Delicately aromatic and tropical on the nose, with piña colada, pistachio pudding, almond halva, coconut, and apple blossom. The palate is elegant and pretty, nuanced with pistachio, almond, vanilla malted milkshake, coconut, and pineapple, before sweeping oak and tobacco roll into a gorgeous tropical fruit and toasted coconut finish. A masterwork in balancing spirit character with finishing cask. —Susannah Skiver Barton
K&L Notes
This Loch Lomond Limited Edition bottling comes to us in partnership with Christie Kerr - legendary LPGA golfer. 94 Points, Whisky Bible 2020 "Lomond at its malty best and cleanest" - Jim Murray
The spirit distilled in 2002 was chosen to commenorate Christie's first win (of 20 and counting...) on tour and is a combination of distillate from their famous Lomond stills and traditional swan neck stills. The spirit was finished in Pinot Noir wine casks from the 2016 vintage at Kerr Cellars with fruit hailing from the famous Manzanita Vineyard. The red wine and premium French oak merge perfectly into the spirit and highlight Loch Lomond's fruity/malty character. Bottled at 48.1% ABV. Of the 4000 bottles produced only 300 made their way to into California.
