Lion Rock Scotch Whisky
Introducing Isle of Cumbrae Distillers first Scotch Whisky, a twin release representing two sides of an ancient tale surrounding one megalithic structure – Lion Rock.
These blended malts have been created and selected by us at IOCD as we have a burning passon for whisky.
Our intention was to create a whisky which represented the Lion Rock story and can be enjoyed by seasoned whisky drinkers and those for being introduced to the dram.
The Legend of Lion Rock
Legend speaks of an ancient prehistoric rock formation born of a rivalry between good and evil.
Long ago, a group of good elves sought to connect an island to the mainland by constructing a majestic bridge, known today as Lion Rock. But their efforts drew the ire of goblins, who, in envy and spite, began building their own bridge.
Realising they were losing, the goblins abandoned their project and turned to sabotage, shattering the elves’ creation. The result? Lion Rock as we see it today—a testament to the enduring struggle between light and darkness.
Unpeated Whisky
The unpeated blend represents the lighter side of the story.
A whisky complete with sweet aromas of toffee apple, home baking, and orchard harvest.
Peated Whisky
The peated blend represents the darker side of the story.
A rich whisky with peated, earthy, maritime notes and hints of salty sweetness.
