Description
Located about 40 minutes south of Glasgow, Lochlea is an independent, family-owned distillery in the heart of Ayrshire, Scotland. They grow 100% of all the barley they use for their whisky production. Originally a cattle farmer, the founder decided his fields would be better suited to make barley for whisky. Not just any whisky, his whisky! In 2021 they hired John Campbell from Laphroaig to be their head distiller. These are definitely new and exciting times not only for Lochlea but also for the Lowland region of Scotch Whisky in general.
Taste
Produced from 100% malted barley grown on the Lochlea farm
Aged in a combination of shaved, toasted, and re-charred (STR) red wine casks, ex–Oloroso sherry casks, and ex–Pedro Ximénez sherry casks
Brand Tasting Notes: Apples, peach syrup, and marmalade precede a palate of wild lavender, rose petals, and black pepper with a long finish bursting with Lochlea’s signature fruity malt.
