Lochlea Cask Strength Batch 2 Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 60.1% Age: No Age Statement Country: Scotland
The Lochlea Distillery is situated in Tarbolton in the Scottish lowland whisky region. This Ayrshire independent distillery has been producing spirit since 2018. The estate on which the distillery sits is where Scotland’s national poet Robert Burns called home from 1777 to 1784. He also worked on the farm in his younger years. The team at Lochlea grow their own grain on the 90 hectare estate. The distillery manager is John Campbell who was a very familiar name at the Laphroaig Distillery for years.
The Cask Strength Second Batch is the second in an annual series of limited edition cask strength releases form Lochlea distillery. The whisky is a marriage of single malt aged in refill bourbon then in Pedro Ximénez (60%), Oloroso (28%), and whisky double matured in American oak and European oak STR barriques (shave, toasted, and re-charred – though not heavily charred in this case so the Lochlea spirit can shine). Batch number two highlights a combination of John Campbell’s mix of 2019 Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks from the beginning of the year, we’ve got some 2018 Oloroso sherry casks, and some 2020’s STRs (shaved toasted rechared). Bottled at 60% Alc/Vol.
