Loch Lomond launches Triple Oak, Oloroso and Peated Rioja

Loch Lomond launches Triple Oak, Oloroso and Peated Rioja
Introduction & Overview
Loch Lomond Whiskies has expanded its innovative single malt range, bringing the celebrated Loch Lomond The Original: Triple Oak and its two new companions, Loch Lomond Oloroso: Sherry Cask and Loch Lomond Peated: Rioja Cask , to the Austrian market via Salud Spirits AT. This trio, launched originally in Germany at the end of 2025, highlights the distillery's mastery of flavor innovation through its distinctive straight-neck and traditional swan-neck stills combined with diverse cask maturation techniques.
Design & Presentation
All three expressions are bottled at 40% ABV and presented in high-quality packaging featuring illustrations of Loch Lomond in striking cobalt blue, burgundy, and mauve tones. The redesigned packaging of Loch Lomond The Original: Triple Oak in particular emphasizes the integral role of cask maturation in its signature profile, maintaining an elegant balance of aesthetics and functionality.
Maturation & Flavor Profile
Loch Lomond The Original: Triple Oak matures in three types of American oak casks—first-fill, refill, and re-charred—uniting distillates from both still types to deliver fruit, honey, and gentle smoke. The Loch Lomond Oloroso: Sherry Cask is finished for six months in certified Oloroso sherry casks, lending aromas of vanilla, raisins, and brown sugar. Meanwhile, Loch Lomond Peated: Rioja Cask showcases maturation in Rioja wine casks, producing notes of honey, peach, pear, dark chocolate, and elegant smokiness.
Michael Henry, Master Blender at Loch Lomond Whiskies, states:
“At Loch Lomond, we respect tradition while not being constrained by it. We forge our own path to explore flavors freely... The launch of The Original Series emphasizes our continued evolution in non-age-statement bottlings, reflecting our award-winning craftsmanship, unique stills, and onsite cooperage expertise.”
