Loch Lomond The Open Special Edition 2021 Single Malt Whisky
Loch Lomond The Open Special Edition 2021 is a single malt whisky created to celebrate the collaboration between the Scottish Loch Lomond distillery and The Open, the world’s oldest and most prestigious golf championship. This limited edition symbolizes the union of two Scottish icons: the tradition of golf and the mastery of whisky-making.
Inspiration and collaboration
The 2021 edition was created in collaboration with Colin Montgomerie, an internationally renowned Scottish professional golfer and Loch Lomond Whiskies brand ambassador. His signature appears on the presentation box, a detail that reinforces the link between this whisky and the competitive spirit of The Open.
Presentation and character
This single malt is bottled without chill filtration (non chill-filtered), preserving all the richness and original character of the spirit. It has an alcohol strength of 46%, offering both balance and presence. The bottle comes in a cardboard case decorated with Colin Montgomerie’s signature, making it a highly appealing piece for collectors and whisky enthusiasts.
Production process
Loch Lomond The Open Special Edition 2021 stands out for its carefully designed maturation method. The whisky is matured separately in three types of American white oak casks, each contributing unique characteristics to the final profile. This process is overseen by master blender Michael Hendry, who combines the different batches in specially selected virgin American oak casks, where the whisky acquires its final character.
The Loch Lomond distillery
Founded in 1964, the Loch Lomond distillery is located near the iconic lake from which it takes its name, in an area that connects Scotland’s Lowlands and Highlands. Its unique combination of straight neck and swan neck stills allows the production of whiskies with a wide range of profiles, earning the distillery a reputation for versatility and technical precision.
Connection with The Open
Loch Lomond Whiskies is the official sponsor of The Open, a tournament held since 1860 and part of golf’s living history. This collaboration is not just a commercial alliance but also a tribute to Scotland’s cultural and sporting heritage. The 2021 edition pays homage to this legacy, offering an experience that blends tradition, precision and competitive spirit.
Limited edition
Its limited production and exclusive presentation make this bottle highly sought-after among collectors. The numbering and graphic details associated with the tournament give it a distinctive character, making it a piece that goes beyond the simple enjoyment of fine whisky.
A whisky for special occasions
With its background and exclusivity, Loch Lomond The Open Special Edition 2021 is ideal for celebratory moments or as a gift for golf enthusiasts and lovers of Scottish whisky. Its story and presentation make it a meaningful gift, going beyond its contents.
