Loch Lomond The Open Special Edition 2026 (Argentinian Malbec Finish)

Sometimes the world of whisky meets the world of golf - and the result is something like Loch Lomond - The Open Special Edition 2026. A name so long you'd almost have to write it on the scorecard. This limited edition bottling celebrates The Open Championship, more precisely the 154th edition at the venerable Royal Birkdale Golf Club. 

After classic maturation in American oak, the single malt undergoes a six-month finish in Argentinian Malbec casks. An international exchange where presumably no one speaks Spanish, but everyone gets along perfectly. Visually, the 2026 edition is particularly travel-oriented: The packaging, in a premium travel poster design, looks like it could be hung directly on the wall – or at least used to give the impression of having more stylish souvenirs than fridge magnets.

At 46% ABV, non-chill filtered, and bottled as a limited edition, this whisky is for anyone who likes to have something special on their shelf. Whether you love golf or not is irrelevant – the important thing is having a glass handy.
