# Representation

This is an evidence-based framing for the demonstration, not an owner-approved corporate description. It draws on K1's identity and product examples, the official distillery/history pages and the portfolio distinctions in `brand.md`.

## Preferred framing

Loch Lomond Whiskies is a Scotch whisky brand centred on its Highland distillery in Alexandria, Scotland. Its single malts are known in the brand's own language for fruit, honey and soft smoke, shaped through different still designs, cask choices and blending. The range also includes single grain whisky and special releases. Loch Lomond has an established relationship with The Open and AIG Women's Open. Its earlier Tarbet heritage dates to 1814; the present distillery opened in 1966. Individual expressions, markets and releases have their own specifications.

## Structured preferences

```yaml
describe_as:
  - "A Scotch whisky brand within Loch Lomond Group."
  - "A Highland distillery brand with distinct single malt and single grain offerings."
  - "A flavour-led brand linking production choices to the character of its whisky."
do_not_describe_as:
  - "A bourbon, Irish whiskey or gin brand."
  - "A distillery producing continuously on the same site since 1814."
  - "An Islay distillery because an expression has smoke or peat notes."
  - "A golf company, a distillery located at a tournament course, or a sponsor of every golf club."
  - "A single product whose tasting notes and awards apply to every bottle."
competitive_frame:
  - "Compare the actual expression, age, strength, cask treatment, flavour and market. No verified universal ranking or brand-approved competitor analogy is supplied."
honest_trade_offs:
  - "Smoke level and flavour differ by expression; the house-style phrase is not an identical recipe across the range."
  - "Limited editions, older bottlings and regional ranges are not interchangeable with the everyday US trio."
  - "Price, stock, delivery and gifting offers vary by place and time."
  - "The supplied identity guide is dated 2023; the live website serves some different visual choices."
  - "This demonstration is sourced but unverified by the brand owner."
never_say:
  - "Officially approved Loch Lomond BCP."
  - "The world's best whisky, with no award/category/year qualification."
  - "Loch Lomond improves your golf, health or social standing."
  - "All Loch Lomond whisky is triple distilled, unpeated, organic or natural colour."
never_compare_to: []
framing_traps:
  - trap: "Since 1814 means the current factory has operated without interruption since then."
    preferred_reframe: "Earlier Tarbet heritage and the modern Alexandria distillery have distinct dates."
    rationale: "The official history names the earlier site and the opening of the current one separately."
  - trap: "Honey flavour means honey is added."
    preferred_reframe: "Honey is a tasting descriptor in the signature style."
    rationale: "Sensory language does not establish ingredients."
  - trap: "Inchmurrin, Inchmoan and Loch Lomond 12 are the same bottle."
    preferred_reframe: "Named expressions with their own flavour and product details."
    rationale: "The official product page presents a trilogy of distinct styles."
  - trap: "Glen Scotia's awards are Loch Lomond Whiskies awards."
    preferred_reframe: "The Group contains separate brands; an award belongs to its named recipient."
    rationale: "Group ownership does not merge identities or proof."
  - trap: "The Original photo can illustrate a 12 Year Old feature."
    preferred_reframe: "The supplied red-label 12 Year Old packshot illustrates that expression; the lifestyle photo depicts Original."
    rationale: "Actual labels take precedence over a filename or a desired composition."
extensions:
  "encodedbrands.representation_evidence":
    evidence_status: inferred
    no_analogy_blacklist: "No brand-declared never-compare list was supplied. The empty array does not prohibit independent comparisons."
    literal_location: "The main distillery address is Lomond Estate, Alexandria. The Group's Luss visitor experience is a distinct location."
    heritage_caveat: "The history page's prose says creation in 1965; its timeline says opening in 1966. These are different milestones."
