Loch Lomond 16 Year Old Waypoint Series Cognac Cask Finish
Loch Lomond 16 Year Old – Waypoint Series – Cognac Cask Finish is an exceptional Highland single malt that combines Loch Lomond’s unique distillation style with the luxurious influence of Cognac casks. After maturing for 16 years in traditional oak, the whisky undergoes a refined finishing period in hand-selected Cognac casks, adding layers of orchard fruits, honeyed sweetness, floral elegance, and soft spice. Bottled at a higher strength (typically 46%) and presented with natural colour and non-chill filtration, this Waypoint Series release showcases a sophisticated balance of Highland freshness and French cask finesse. Smooth, complex, and beautifully structured, it is a standout for collectors and lovers of elegant cask finishes.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Ripe pear, apricot, green apple, honey, vanilla pod, floral notes, and gentle oak warmth. Subtle hints of grape skin and dried fruit from the Cognac influence.
Palate: Silky and fruity with flavours of baked apple, apricot jam, white grapes, sweet malt, honeycomb, toasted oak, and delicate spice. The Cognac finish adds depth, brightness, and refined sweetness.
Finish: Long and elegant with lingering fruit sweetness, soft oak spice, vanilla, and light floral notes.
