Viticultural notes
Distilled at
Miltonduff Distillery,
Mosstowie was one of only a handful of
spirits to be made using a Lomond Still.
The Lomond stills allowed the
lyne arm
position to be changed, giving varying
levels of reflux and differing heaviness to
the spirit. Mainly used in blended
whisky, the Lomond stills were removed
in 1981.
Tasting notes
Fragrant VANILLA POD and
BUTTERSCOTCH aromas lead to
CANDIED PEEL and hedgerow
BLOSSOM. LEATHER and STEWED
APPLE notes come to the fore alongside
BLACKCURRANT LEAVES.
