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 Distillery first kicked off a series of limited edition bottlings with the Sowing Edition First Crop. The range shines a light on the growing of the most important ingredient for single malt whisky – barley. This particular expression represents spring, when the barley seeds are sown. This is the second release of the Lochlea Sowing Edition. This single malt Scotch whisky has been matured in first-fill bourbon barrels, and bottled without chill-filtration or added colour. Sowing Edition celebrates spring on the Lochlea farm.

Our Tasting Notes

Nose: The cereal notes are creamy and fresh, brought to life by orchard fruits and stone fruits. Soft peach notes are definitely the highlight here.

Palate: Stewed apples with soft blonde toffee, toasted hazelnuts, spicy oak and oaky vanilla.

Finish: Home baking spices and soft stone fruits, a long and delicious finish.
