With Loch Lomond Steam & Fire presents Loch Lomond with double distillation using Scotland's unique Straight Neck Pot Stills and more traditional Swan Neck Pot Stills, how the fruity signature style can be created via distillation. The Loch Lomond Steam & Fire aged in three types of American oak casks and received a 10 month finish in first fill heavily charred casks produced in Loch Lomond's own award-winning cooperage burned out on site. The strong burn of the casks creates a melted brown sugar character and a rich, buttery mouthfeel with notes of orange and dark chocolate.
