Staff Pick Notes

If Loch Ness has Nessie, The Loch Ness Monster, does Loch Gorm have Gormy, the Loch Gorm monster? I hope so. And I hope he surfaces occasionally for a dram of this exquisite elixir. This eagerly awaited annual release has finally arrived and we couldn’t be more thrilled. Selected from twenty-two casks (eight distilled in 2013, six in 2014 and eight in 2015) blended together to create a beautiful balance of rich fruity character with layers of classic Kilchoman peat smoke and citrus sweetness. Kilchoman Founder, Anthony Wills: “Rather than dominating, Loch Gorm’s oloroso maturation works in harmony with the natural character of Kilchoman. This release has a fantastic spectrum of flavor, from rich spices and macerated peaches to fresh citrus, ginger, orange zest and waves of salty peaty smoke.” Pair with foul weather days and coconut pie.
