Product notes
Loch Gorm is the name given to our annual sherry matured limited edition. Named after Islay’s largest freshwater lake neighbouring the distillery, the dark murky colour of the loch’s water is reflected in the rich coppery tones of our sherry matured Loch Gorm release.

The 2021 edition is a vatting of 24 oloroso sherry butts filled in 2011 and 2012.

Palate Cloves, dark chocolate and juicy prunes with waves of roasted almonds, sultanas, nougat and peat embers. Finish Herbaceous, earthy and maritime with liquorice, leather and a distinctly dry sherry-soaked finish.
