Tasting Notes
Matured in a unique blend of ex-bourbon, ex-sherry, and shaved toasted and recharred (STR) casks, Lochlea ‘Our Barley’ offers a rich and complex profile:
- Nose: Pear syrup, fruit bon-bons, freshly-cut grass, and a hint of marmalade.
- Palate: Layers of golden syrup, black pepper, rye bread, macadamia nuts, and a touch of cream soda create a wonderfully balanced mouthfeel.
- Finish: A long, lingering finish with bright notes of orange and beeswax.
Bottled at 46% ABV, this non-chill filtered and natural-colored whisky is a true reflection of Lochlea’s dedication to authentic Scottish whisky-making traditions.
Lochlea may not have a visitor center or shop, but their focus is firmly on crafting exceptional whisky, delivered straight from their farm to your glass.
