Loch Lomond 9 Year Old Tasting Notes

Colour: Fresh honey.

Nose: A slightly restrained fruity note in this youthful Loch Lomond, but that is far from the end of the story. It’s floral which is unexpected for a Loch Lomond. Violets, I think. Slightly charred oakiness and totally sumptuous.

Palate: The floral note doesn’t carry through, but this is a fragrant, warming, full-bodied dram, which is unashamedly bold. A very dry Bourbon twang proving that not every Bourbon is sweet vanilla. Soft fruit with toasted nuts drizzled with a dash of cinnamon and a grilled banana. A really sophisticated dram.

Finish: A medium finish at first but as it phases out suddenly here is a resurgence. This is going to take a while!

About this Dram Mor whisky

This Loch Lomond 9 Year Old from Dràm Mòr is a confident and characterful Highland single malt that highlights a less commonly seen side of American oak maturation. Distilled in 2016 and bottled in 2025, the whisky was finished in a first fill Maker’s Mark bourbon barrel (cask #4) and released at cask strength (57.5%), with natural colour and no chill filtration. Just 215 bottles were produced.

Loch Lomond’s unique distillation setup allows the distillery to dial in a wide range of spirit styles, and that flexibility shines here. Rather than leaning into the overt sweetness often associated with bourbon casks, this Maker’s Mark barrel brings a drier, more structured influence, allowing the spirit’s complexity to take centre stage.

On the nose, the whisky opens with a restrained fruitiness that slowly gives way to something more intriguing: unexpected floral notes, evocative of violets, alongside gently charred oak. It’s an elegant and surprisingly refined introduction for such a young malt.

The palate is bold, warming and full-bodied, with the floral notes stepping aside in favour of a more savoury bourbon profile. This is a whisky that shows that not all bourbon casks deliver vanilla-led sweetness. Instead, expect soft orchard fruit, toasted nuts, cinnamon spice, and a beautifully judged note of grilled banana, all wrapped in a dry, confident structure that feels sophisticated and assured.

The finish initially appears medium in length, but just as it seems to fade, it resurges, unfurling layers of oak spice and warmth that linger far longer than expected. This is a striking and thoughtful dram that rewards patience, offering depth, balance and a distinctly grown-up bourbon cask character.

What about taxes?

All alcoholic products sold by TopWhiskies are sold subject to UK alcohol tax, which is already included in the price.

UK sales are subject to VAT (currently 20%), which is included in the price. Sales outside of the UK are not subject to this tax, and international prices do not include it.

We use a specialist US shipper who sorts out US taxes. These costs are factored into the US shipping charges. So shipping may look pricey, but remember it covers your taxes as well, so there'll be no further bills to pay. US Customs takes two to three weeks to complete, after which your parcel will arrive at your door as if it were a normal delivery.

For all other territories, including those in Europe, please note: your order could be subject to local sales taxes and duties upon arrival in the destination country. All additional charges are the responsibility of the recipient. As customs policies vary widely from country to country, TopWhiskies has no control over these charges, so you should contact your local customs office for further information. If you refuse to pay any import duties and taxes, this could result in the goods being destroyed by customs or being returned back to us - any refund offered would include a deduction of our costs.
