"Vanilla and oak notes are promenant. Very unique, smooth and refreshing."
Launched in 2023 as part of Loch Lomond's Remarkable Makers series, this limited release was crafted in collaboration with renowned open-fire chef Genevieve Taylor. Steam & Fire is produced from a combination of spirits from both Loch Lomond's unique straight neck still and more traditional pot stills. Matured initially in first-fill bourbon barrels and refill American oak casks, then finished for 9-10 months in first-fill heavily re-charred American oak barrels, sourced from the distillery’s own cooperage. Non-chillfiltered and bottled at 46%.
Nose: Toffee, apple, fudge, vanilla, cinnamon.
Palate: Silky mouthfeel, orange, peach, marmalade, coffee, melted brown sugar, roasted marshmallow.
Finish: Medium to long dry finish with dark chocolate and soft smoke.
