Lochlea Cask Strength (Batch 1)

Lochlea Distillery is a renowned Scottish distillery located in the picturesque countryside of Ayrshire. This is their inaugural Cask Strength expression, and is the first in a series of annual limited-edition bottlings. Each batch will be bottled straight from the casks without water, like trying samples from the warehouse itself! Master Blender John Campbell and the team at Lochlea have chosen a combination of 1st Fill Bourbon and Oloroso Sherry casks this time, and every year will show further progression of their whisky. This is a true undiluted and unfiltered window into Lochlea whisky. This release is presented all natural colour, with no chill filtration and is bottled at 60.1%ABV.

Butter cream covered with fresh fruits nose. Viscous, warming. Dry pineapple and apricots. Tangerine rind and candied ginger. Long finish. Water brings out a little youth but still great. Future releases should be excellent.
