Lochlea Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky Edition 2

Lochlea Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky – a bold, farm-to-glass cask-strength release from Lochlea Distillery in Ayrshire, Scotland.

🌾 Farm-Brewed Origin

• Lochlea is a true farm distillery, growing its own barley on land once farmed by poet Robert Burns 

• They innovate by using local raw materials and sustainable practices, overseeing barley cultivation, distillation, maturation, and bottling on-site .

🥃 What It Is

• Bottled undiluted at around 60% ABV, non-chill-filtered and with no added color—just pure, uncut whisky in a bottle 

• Annual release in batches — Batch 2 features a combo of oloroso, Pedro Ximénez, and STR red-wine casks 

👃 Nose & Palate

• Batch 1 delivers bright orchard fruit, vanilla custard, stewed pears, floral notes, nutmeg, and fresh red berries—silky yet bold for 60% ABV 

• Batch 2 leans richer: warm marmalade, peach syrup on the nose, with wild lavender, rose petals, black pepper and dried fruit on the palate 

• Across both, expect fruit-forward character, spice, light floral lift, soft sherry undertones, and a satisfying long finish 

🔚 Finish

A lingering, peppery, dried-fruit finish with orange syrup or marmalade notes and gentle oak spice—officially bold, but elegantly balanced .

🎯 Why It Stands Out

• Cask-strength transparency: It’s whisky the way distillers intended—raw, intense, pure 

• Crafted on-site: From barley to bottle, Lochlea controls every process, ensuring traceability and flavor authenticity 

• Critically praised: Known for surprising richness and complexity despite high strength; loved by enthusiasts for its fruitiness and structure .

🥂 Best Enjoyed

Perfect neat, or with a splash of water to unlock hidden layers. Bold enough for serious sipping, but approachable for mindful newcomers exploring Lowland whisky.

In a nutshell: Lochlea Cask Strength is a standout Lowland malt—a potent, fruit-driven, farm-crafted single malt that delivers serious flavor and storytelling in every cask-strength drop.
