Lochlea Our Barley Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Lochlea Our Barley Single Malt Scotch Whisky, a testament to John Campbell’s exceptional craftsmanship, stands as a cornerstone of the Lochlea Distillery’s offerings. This core expression is artfully curated by our Master Blender, featuring a sophisticated maturation process in Bourbon, Sherry, and STR (Shaved, Toasted, Re-charred) casks. Each type of cask contributes uniquely to the depth and complexity of the final whisky, making it a standout in both flavor and character.
Exquisite Cask Combination:
First-Fill Bourbon Barrels: Sourced from Loretto, Kentucky, these barrels infuse the whisky with sweet notes of golden syrup and creamy soda, enhancing its smoothness and richness.
Oloroso Sherry Butts: Imported directly from Jerez, Spain, these butts add layers of fruit Bon Bons, marmalade, and macadamia nuts, enriching the whisky with a delightful complexity.
STR Barriques: Also from Spain, these specially treated casks lend peppery spice and rye bread nuances to the profile, adding an edgy contrast to the sweeter elements.
Tasting Experience:
Nose: A delightful arrangement of pear syrup, fruit Bon Bons, warm cut grass, and marmalade offers a fresh and inviting introduction.
Palate: Tastes of golden syrup and pepper mix seamlessly with rye bread and macadamia nuts, while a hint of cream soda provides a smooth, velvety texture.
Finish: A long and satisfying finish is crowned with a distinctive orange beeswax note, leaving a lasting impression that beckons another sip.
