The Loch Lomond 24 Year Old Vintage 2000 Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the kind of bottle that serious whisky drinkers immediately recognize for its real value: a fully matured 24-year-old Highland single malt at a price that typically sits far below many similarly aged Scotch whiskies. Distilled in 2000 and aged for nearly a quarter century, it delivers the depth, texture, and complexity that only long maturation can produce. While originally released to commemorate the 152nd Open Championship, the real story here is the age statement—a genuine 24-year-old malt, which is increasingly rare in the Scotch market at this price level.
Origins & Craftsmanship
This whisky comes from the innovative Loch Lomond Distillery, located in the Scottish Highlands near the shores of its namesake loch. Founded in 1964, the distillery is known for its unusual still design, which allows the production team to create a wide range of spirit styles from the same distillery.
The Vintage 2000 release was distilled in the year 2000 and bottled after 24 years of maturation, giving the whisky exceptional maturity and integration.
Key production details include:
- Distilled: 2000
- Age: 24 years
- ABV: approximately 47.1%
- Cask maturation: American oak followed by finishing in Manzanilla sherry butts from Jerez
- Limited production: roughly 4,500 bottles worldwide
- Non-chill filtered with natural color
The Manzanilla sherry finish adds a coastal, nutty complexity to the whisky’s naturally fruity Highland character, layering maritime freshness with rich sweetness.
The bottle was released as part of Loch Lomond’s Open Course Collection, celebrating the 152nd Open Championship at Royal Troon—but collectors quickly realized the real appeal lies in the whisky itself: a two-decade-plus aged Highland malt.
Critics Reviews
Whisky Advocate 93 Points, Jonny McCormick: "Initially matured in American oak hogsheads and barrels before the manzanilla finish, the aromas are complex and multilayered, with strawberries and cream, a twist of citrus peel, fine spices, and soft sooty smoke. It’s incredibly fruity and juicy, with red berries, cherry, apple pie, cinnamon, and caraway leading to toffee, marzipan, and salted caramel as it gets creamier. Subtle smoke joins almond paste and cinnamon on the finish."
