“Some of the new Scotch distilleries popping up are truly incredible, and Lochlea is one of my favourites! It was also made by the legendary John Campbell, the distiller who made the Harvey Nichols Peated Burgundy Cask Single Barrel English Whisky.” – Nick Larsson-Bell, Retail Buyer of the Year 2022
Lochlea Cask Strength Batch 1 is the first release in a series of annual limited-edition bottlings from the distillery, that was recently awarded 'Single Estate of the Year' at the 2023 Global Icons of Whisky competition.
That said, it's the first-ever cask-strength release from Master Blender John Campbell and his team. It's also a limited-edition with only 15,000 bottles globally. It's been aged in ex-Bourbon and Oloroso Sherry casks to enhance the signature ripened fruit and nutty cereal flavours synonymous with Lochlea. Expect spicy fruit flavours which unfurl into smoky tobacco notes with a hint of coffee, oak and zesty citrus.
Lochlea was a livestock farm when it was acquired in 2006. The piggery became the distillery, the cattle sheds were turned into bonded warehouses and the pasture was converted to barley fields. It’s a site rich in history, as the celebrated Scottish poet Robert Burns lived at Lochlea Farm between 1777 and 1784, no doubt toiling over the same soil that this fiercely independent family-owned distillery now does. As Rabbie famously wrote, “Freedom an’ whisky gang thegither.” So, raise a dram to a new free spirit from Scotland.
