Inchfad (Loch Lomond) 2007-2021 | 14 Year Old North Star Spirits Series 16

Highland Single Malt Whisky
Bottled By North Star Spirits 70cl / 49%

An old bottle of single cask Inchfad (Loch Lomond) 2007 14-year-old Highland single malt whisky released by indie bottlers North Star Spirits in 2021 without colouring or chill filtration.

North Star have unearthed another gem with this 2007 Inchfad, which nowadays could be considered as a lost single malt from an operating distillery. Inchfad was one of Loch Lomond's experimental heavily-peated single malts made on Lomond stills, but the Inchfad name was subsequently officially retired for this style and now is only used internally to refer to a different type of blending stock at the distillery.

Anyhoo, there's clearly still some of Loch Lomond's old-school Inchfad out in the wild, as evidenced by North Star's rather tempting Inchfad 2007, bottled in 2021 as a 14-year-old from an Oloroso sherry barrique, no less, which yielded 234 bottles at 49%. Peat and sherry fans take note.
