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 Lochlea Fallow Edition Third Crop is a single malt Scotch whisky that marks the culmination of Lochlea Distillery’s exploration of seasonal maturation. This expression is the final installment in the Fallow trilogy, representing the quiet and reflective nature of autumn.
Lochlea Distillery, located in the Lowlands of Scotland, is a farm distillery that grows its own barley and carefully manages every step of the whisky making process. The Fallow Edition focuses on the period when the land is left to rest and rejuvenate, allowing the flavours of the whisky to deepen and mature.
The Third Crop is unique for being entirely aged in first-fill Oloroso sherry butts. These casks impart rich flavours of dried fruits, nuts, and spices, creating a complex and decadent profile. It’s bottled at 46% alc/vol, non-chill filtered, and with no added colour, ensuring an authentic and unadulterated taste.
