Good nose, more leathery on the palate, unfortunately going more into sulphury in the finish - not totally bad per se but perhaps just not my cup of tea

Cool Inchmurrin!!! Really Beautiful, Elegant, Soulful, Sheer pleasure, but it’s true until the aftertaste. Herbarium of fruits and berries, + a little salt, and my heart melted!) 23 22 21 22 88

Dark fruits, sherry wood, polished oak, cinnamon, chocolate, pepper but also cooked cabbage, sulphur, really not to my taste

I am a fan of the Loch Lomond expressions, and there was quite some anticipation for this one. And man, of you can call me a happy camper

[July 2023] Oops, again I am the first to write a review, hence there is no preoccupation to my taste buds (which is good). I really liked the latest editions of Loch Lomond distillery from IBs (independent bottlers), especially the peated Croftengea range - simply because these were all honest and no-BS drams of high quality. As a consequence, I have to try these two new Inchmurrin releases as well... ...which was not a bad idea. This Oloroso maturation is about perfect for modern standards, the wine used to season the cask was of an excellent old quality, the wood is appropriate which means it is neither too strong nor too weak, and the malt is flawless and suits perfectly into this delicious flavours mix. This is one of the best sherried malts I had over the course of the last two years, and according to my taste buds this is on eye-level with the best 25-year old Glendronach releases of the last decade (not kidding). Well done, both Loch Lomond distillery staff and Sansibar / DeinWhisky IBs! PS: A word of caution (after reading some other reviews): If you are looking for something "special" in your drams, what many modern whisky lovers obviously do, shy away from this bottling. There is nothing special about it, except it is a perfect non-BS modern sherry malt. I like such stuff much more than the designed "wet cask" sherry monsters or "dirty" profiles, but this is just the preference of my very own taste buds. [August 2023] I re-tasted this dram tonight after a selection of fine old drams (e.g., Glenfarclas 1965, Lochside 1966, Springbank 1967) and guess what - I still like this non-BS Inchmurrin a lot. Of course, it is not on eye-level with the afore-mentioned legends but it can stand the heat even in such a line-up. I fully confirm my old review and scores.

Round and set. You notice the age. 86-90 – Wow, really good one, needs a bottle

Very tasty, but in the overall picture the aroma profile does not hit my nerve enough with regard to the 220 euros that I would have to spend for a large bottle. The sample was delicious and a nice experience, but enough.

This Loch Lomond offers a very good price-performance ratio, considering the 25 years at cask strength and the retail price of 210 euros. I think both sides get their money's worth here: the purists, who pay a lot of attention to the distillate, and the lovers of intense sherry casks.

A great and very tasty bottling. The alcohol is well integrated and the sherry influence is harmonious and not too dominant.

Good inchmoorin. For lovers of sherry aging. Color - dark amber

The oloroso influence is more prominent on the nose and palate, while the expected fruity Inchmurrin character only really comes to the surface at the finish. A solid Inchmurrin, although both elements didn't synergise to a higher level for me.

I like the dram slightly diluted to 46 - 48%. Purely it is a bit too intrusive and aggressive for me, especially in the nose and mouth

Really good sherry bottling, the oloroso sherry must have been of very high Quality! The only flaw i can find is the bitter drying aftertaste but since i am the only one noticing this, maybe i had a spoiled tasting glass ... as i opened a bottle, i will add more impressions While emptying it Now the bottle is nearly gone, i cannot keep the old Review. The emptier it got the weaker it tasted. I will reduce it to 89p

It just lacks a little personality. But is it serious? What he does, he does very well. Superbly balanced, you have to give him time because he is not immediately approachable, a little intellectual.

Yes, I am a big fan of Loch Lomond distillery; most expressions I tasted have been bourbon matured. This is one of my first sherry matured expressions, and a damn good one.
