If you are
looking for a Father's Day whisky gift
idea here a few from Loch Lomond Groups
portfolio of whiskies that wont break
the bank and I am sure will put a smile
on your dads face.
Scotch whisky is undoubtedly a taste of luxury which spends years in
the making and it is without a doubt the ideal gift
for any whisky loving Dad, and there is a taste
of luxury within everyone's reach no
matter what their budget is.
At this time of year I often get inundated
with requests for suggestions for
Fathers Day Whisky Gifts, everyone is of
course looking for the perfect gift,
something special, perhaps something their Dad
hasn't tried before,
so if you are still looking for a
Father's Day whisky gift for your whisky
loving dad here are a few ideas from the Loch Lomond
Group's portfolio of whiskies which wont bust the bank
(all around £40) and I am
sure will be well received as the Loch
Lomond Group does offer
a rather impressive range of very good
quality whiskies these days from their
Loch Lomond and Glen Scotia single malts
as well as their Scotch blended malt
whisky range Noble Rebel.
Glen Scotia
Double Cask
 Glen Scotia Double Cask single malt
whisky is a great introduction to the
whisky produced at the Glen Scotia
distillery in Campbeltown and certainly
one for those who enjoy a big sherried
whisky. Initially
matured in first fill American bourbon
barrels then finished for 12 months in
Pedro Ximenez sherry casks, as you would
expect from a PX cask finish, the sherry
casks have resulted in quite a rich, spicy
and fruity dram with notes of toffee, a
good introduction to Glen Scotia and
definitely for those who enjoy a big
sherried whisky..
My thoughts on Glen Scotia Double Cask:
"A very promising dram that you could
nose all day, and just as I expected on
the palate for a young whisky which has
spent 12 months in a PX cask, a big
intense sherried dram."

Loch
Lomond Steam & Fire
 Loch Lomond Steam
and Fire was only launched summer 2023,
distilled in a combination of Straight
Neck and traditional Swan Neck Pot
Stills. Maturation takes place within
first-fill Bourbon barrels and refill
American Oak casks. This single malt then has a 10-month long
finishing period in heavily charred
American Oak casks.
My thoughts on Loch Lomond Steam and
Fire: "A very gentle nose, the gentle
smoke, oak does build and cling more to
the palate after a few mouthfuls and
comes more to the forefront, the fruit
doesn't hang around long."

Noble
Rebel Orchard Outburst
 This is one of a trio of Scotch Blended
Malt Whiskies launched by the Loch
Lomond Group in early 2023 which make up
the Noble Rebel Scotch Blended Malt
Whisky range. At the heart of Noble
Rebel blended malt whiskies are a blend
of single malt whiskies which have been
distilled at the Loch Lomond and Glen
Scotia distilleries as well as whiskies
from some undisclosed trusted partners
of the Loch Lomond Group.
Noble Rebel Orchard Burst has been
matured in American ex-bourbon casks.
This intriguing malt contains whisky
distilled with Chardonnay wine yeast, an
unusual ingredient in whisky
distillation which helps to intensify
fruit and citrus flavours in the
finished blend.
My thoughts on Noble Rebel Orchard
Burst: "As it names suggests, a
lovely intense orchard burst and those
orchard fruits are given a delicious
boost by the sugars and gentle spices,
all served up at a flavoursome non-chill
filtered, naturally coloured 46% ABV. A
very smooth, very enjoyable, easy
drinking dram, an ideal pour over the
summer months or indeed anytime."

Noble Rebel
Hazelnut Harmony
 Next in the Noble Rebel Scotch blended
malt line-up is Hazelnut Harmony, this
one was finished in toasted American oak
casks.
My thoughts on Noble Rebel Hazelnut
Harmony: "A gentle hazelnut note, the barley
sugars, vanilla and fruit are more
apparent but dig deep and you will find
the hazelnut thread running from nose to
finish. Another very easy drinker where
the spices build with each mouthful
adding to the flavour pleasure."

Noble Rebel
Smoke Symphony
 As its name suggest Noble Rebel Symphony
is infused with threads of peat smoke,
you will also find a lovely berry
fruitiness thanks to its finish in Rioja
wine casks.
My thoughts on Noble Rebel Smoke
Symphony: "A delicious balance of sugar charged
grape and peat combine to make a
outstanding whisky. Whether you are a
seasoned peaty whisky fan or you are new
to it this is one to try."
