BELOW SHOULDER

1970s High Commissioner Old Scotch Whisky is a blended Scotch with a long-standing heritage, crafted by Loch Lomond Group. It’s known for being approachable, affordable, and surprisingly characterful for its price point. Here’s a general tasting profile based on expert and enthusiast impressions:

Nose: Soft aromas of honey, vanilla, and light oak, with hints of orchard fruits like pear and peach. Some expressions may carry a faint touch of peat smoke.

Palate: Smooth and mellow, offering a balanced sweetness with notes of malted barley, caramel, and subtle spice. A gentle bourbon-like warmth from American oak aging adds depth.

Finish: Medium length, clean and warming, with lingering vanilla and a whisper of fruit and spice.

It’s often praised as a solid everyday dram—easy to sip neat, mix, or enjoy with a splash of water.
