A very Scottish collaboration
Scotland’s two greatest exports, golf and whisky, have come together as Loch Lomond has once more partnered with The Open. At 152 years old, it’s the oldest golf tournament in the world.
To celebrate, Loch Lomond has released two special single malt whiskies. But that’s not all... There are 75 ‘Golden Dram’ packs up for grabs, which will be allocated at random to anyone who buys a Loch Lomond whisky through Master of Malt.
Loch Lomond continues its partnership with the Open golf championship at Royal Troon with the release of two unique single malts. The first was created with the help of golf legend Colin Montgomerie, and it’s finished in a chardonnay cask. The second is an incredibly rare 24 year old release finished in manzanilla sherry butts.

It’s production set-up is unusual too utilising traditional pot stills, columns still and a special type of hybrid still called a Lomond still.
