2022 saw the launch of not only our ongoing core single malt, Lochlea 'Our Barley', but also our 'First Crop' of limited seasonal releases. Each one of these shows Lochlea Single Malt in a different light, reflecting exactly what is happening on the farm with the changing seasons.
Lochlea 'Ploughing Edition' (First Crop)
Deep in the heart of winter, we start to plough the fields in preparation for sowing the barley seed in Spring. We created a warm, smoky version of our signature Lochlea whisky by using a combination of ex-Islay barrels and peated quarter casks and have chosen an icy blue label to reflect the cold and frosty Ayrshire winters.
Cask Type: Ex-Islay Barrels and peated Quarter Casks
ABV: 46%
Nose: Baked fruit with a light peat smoke in the background
Palate: Old fashioned boiled sweets, cooked apple and Brazil nuts
Finish: Lingering fruit and nuttiness, all intertwined with a haze of Islay peat smoke.
Non-chill filtered with no added colouring
