For more lifestyle, arts and fashion trends, click here for Options Section
The Loch Lomond Group, an independent distiller and blender of the finest and rarest scotch whiskies — namely Littlemill, Glen Scotia and Loch Lomond — is set to make its debut in Singapore after signing a new deal with distributor Velocity Wines and Spirits. Enthusiasts can now purchase these premium labels from Wines and Spirits starting from March.
Distilled in iconic locations around Scotland, the brand’s heritage is amongst the oldest in the industry, dating as early as 1772 when Littlemill’s distillery was established. The grand dame of the group, Littlemill’s whiskies pay homage to the skills and passion of the original master distillers and craftsmen who were the best of their generation.
Loch Lomond was recently awarded nine medals across its whisky portfolio in the 2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, including two Double Gold awards for its 21 and 30 Year Old single malt whiskies. Glen Scotia’s 25-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch was also the ‘Best In Show Whisky’ at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. The label was also named Scottish Whisky Distillery of the Year at the Scottish Whisky Awards.
Whisky enthusiasts as well as private collectors will also have the opportunity to participate in an online charity auction of a Littlemill Testament Special Edition with all proceeds going towards The Food Bank Singapore. This single malt whisky distilled in 1976 — the oldest Littlemill release to date valued at $14,685 per bottle — is set in a unique case accompanied by a pair of specially sourced Georgian glasses dating back to the 18th century. The charity auction will be hosted online on Liquid Gold Auctioneer and will be open for bidding from March 1 to March 31.
