Overview
There’s a bit of a story behind our August 2023 Whisky of the Month.
Two Madeira cask creations* by Loch Lomond took out double gold at the San Francisco Spirits Awards and we were so impressed we got the good folks at Loch Lomond to send us a single cask sample of their award-winning Madeira cask whisky. Needless to say, we were blown away and went full steam ahead convincing them to create a similar release exclusively for our Club Members - but with an age statement.
This was the first time the Club had seen a whisky finished in these rarely-seen Portuguese fortified wine casks from the island of Madeira in the North Atlantic Ocean, where they’ve been making this spectacular wine since the 15th century. Similar to Pedro Ximénez from Spain, Malmsey Madeira is most renown for its sweet, rich flavours of the Malvasia grape bringing in notes of figs, baking spices and creamy nuttiness. This was also the first-ever official Madeira cask whisky from Loch Lomond to reach Australian shores.
The result is nothing less than a superbly finished Madeira single cask using a whisky Vintage from 2010, imbued with intense orchard notes of pear and white peach, gooey marzipan and white chocolate fudge, and a sticky finish of rich dried fruits and toasted almonds. Released under Loch Lomond’s Inchmurrin name (known for its unpeated fruit bombs), this single cask is presented at 47.8% ABV with its natural colour of shimmering rose gold, and has been non-chill filtered to ensure maximum flavour.
Each bottle, too, is labelled with its unique cask number so you’ll know exactly what cask your bottle came from, as well as the number of bottles that came from it due to the size of the cask and the angel’s share (that is, the natural evaporation during maturation).
