Located on the edge of Montrose overlooking the rich farmlands and barley fields of Angus. Lochside towered over all the nearby buildings. It was a sad day when the distillery demolished but fortunately there still remains a few jewels to remind us of just how good a whisky it was.
【Tasting Notes】
Nose: Astonishingly rich and fresh, full of forest fruits, wild strawberry, raspberry and brambles. Liqueur filled chocolates, vintage leather jacket, old sherry and a tiny touch of aged soy sauce. Quite brilliant and enticing. Palate: Impressive freshness for an old whisky. Dense and moderately fruity with oaky notes upfront and a background sweetness. Sparkles of spices, including cardamom, cloves, cinnamon. An earthy rancio reminiscent of a wonderful very old cognac. Finish: Tremendously long and warming, without any excess tannins or dryness. Even more on liqueurs and chocolates. Beautifully complex with dense fruit and balanced spices. A very rewarding, powerful and intense dram.
