Loch Lomond Steam & Fire

To produce Steam & Fire, master blender Michael Henry used both Loch Lomond's traditional swan neck and unique straight neck stills. But the fun doesn’t end there because the ageing process is quite unique too. Initially, it's aged in first-fill bourbon barrels and American oak casks which is then followed up with a ten-month finishing period in first-fill heavily re-charred American oak barrels. It's bottled at 46% ABV. Those big sweet flavours are great fun neat but would also work in simple cocktails like an Old Fashioned especially if you were using orange bitters.
