The story of Lismore whisky begins in 1974 when it was first created by the Lundie family. The Lundies were not distillers themselves, but rather whisky brokers who had extensive knowledge and connections within the industry. This gave them access to a wide range of cask stocks from various distilleries, allowing them to carefully select and blend whiskies to create the unique flavor profile of Lismore.
Having the ability to source whisky from different distilleries gives Lismore a distinct advantage. It allows them to choose the best quality whiskies that perfectly complement each other, resulting in a well-balanced and harmonious final product. This ability to blend different casks also allows Lismore to create a consistent flavor profile year after year, ensuring that whisky enthusiasts can always rely on the quality of Lismore whisky.
As an expert sommelier and brewer, I have had the pleasure of tasting Lismore whisky on multiple occasions. Each time, I am impressed by the smoothness and complexity of the whisky. The flavors are well-rounded, with notes of rich caramel, honey, and a hint of spice. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a warm and lingering sensation on the palate.
