This red wine cask release is an annual release inspired by the finishing of their mature spirit in red wine casks. Each year will bring a different expression of red wine, inspired by the casks they believe best compliment their style. For this the first release they have taken their whisky matured in 1st-fill Bourbon barrels, then finished in carefully selected Grenache casks.
The result is a bright, fruit-forward whisky bursting with summer berries, strawberry shortcake, and sweet vanilla, finishing with spiced biscuits and rich oak. This first edition sets the tone for a vibrant
and evolving series of red wine cask finishes.
Lochlea’s Red Wine Cask expressions will sit alongside the new Single Estate core range of single malts — a permanent collection that reflects their commitment to quality, provenance, and character.
Each expression is crafted from their own barley, distilled and matured entirely on-site in the heart of Ayrshire, Scotland.
Nose: Bright fresh pink berries, sweet and floral, some oak and tannins
Taste: Fresh juicy red fruits, particularly berries and cherries, sweet vanilla and almond flavours like
a strawberry shortcake.
Finish: Finishing with rich oak, cereal, tannins and spiced biscuits.
