Burns Night Whisky - A Highland and Campbeltown Duo from Loch Lomond Group

Multi-award-winning independent distiller Loch Lomond Group is recommending two exceptional single malts to mark Burns Night, showcasing the rich heritage and signature styles from two of its renowned brands.

Loch Lomond Whiskies, based a few miles from the famous loch, uses a combination of traditional swan-neck and unique straight-neck stills to create elegant, fruit- and honey-forward whiskies with a touch of soft smoke. With its own onsite cooperage, every cask is perfectly prepared to mature its award-winning expressions.

Glen Scotia, one of just three surviving Campbeltown distilleries, has been crafting exceptional single malts since 1832. Its team continues to follow traditional methods in original stillrooms and dunnage warehouses, producing bold, maritime-influenced whiskies that reflect the region’s distinctive style.

LOCH LOMOND 18 YEAR OLD, 70CL, 46%, from £90

Loch Lomond 18 Year Old single malt is a perfect representation of Loch Lomond’s signature style, full-bodied and rounded with a deep fruity character.

The multiple-award winning single malt, which most recently received a Gold Outstanding Medal at IWSC 2025, is aged in three types of American oak casks. It is bottled at 46% and non-chill filtered to keep things as nature intended. With wonderful notes of baked apple and rich toffee with gentle wood smoke on the finish, it is an elegant and complex whisky which embodies Loch Lomond Whiskies’ innovative approach to flavour creation.

GLEN SCOTIA 12 YEAR OLD, 70CL, 46%, from £45

The newly released Glen Scotia 12 Year Old is a bold yet classic single malt, placing Glen Scotia’s signature style and maritime influence centre stage. This flagship single malt was matured in the finest first-fill bourbon casks and was bottled at 46% ABV. This expression is quintessentially Glen Scotia, full of big Campbeltown character and bold flavours of rich tropical fruits and coastal sea spray. Hints of citrus and caramelised sugar unfold on the palate, complemented by subtle oak and warming spice on the finish.

The colourway of the packaging reflects the distillery’s iconic features, with the royal blue inspired by Glen Scotia’s renowned dunnage doors and the chalk white represents the historic distillery walls.
