The new annual Lochlea limited edition series is inspired by the changing seasons at Lochlea Farm in Ayrshire, Scotland.
The first expression in Lochlea’s new seasonal range is the 48% ABV Sowing Edition whisky. The product reflects spring, when the distillery starts sowing the seeds for this year’s barley.
It was matured in first-fill Bourbon barrels and is non-chill-filtered and bottled at natural colour.
John Campbell, Lochlea production director and master blender, said of the Sowing Edition: “We chose 23 first-fill Bourbons hand selected from the first filling the distillery completed in September 2018. We chose 23 very flavourful casks, combined them together and bottled them at 48% ABV.”
Campbell said the flavours expected from Sowing are “vanilla, and lots of green apple in Lochlea, its signature fruit”. He added: “It gets a wee sweeter with Bonbon flavours and grassy flavours from the cereal, it smells a bit like straw and then leads to cooked biscuits and gentle aromatics. There’s a nice bit of spice coming through from the cask.”
The release of Sowing Edition follows the distillery’s inaugural bottling, Lochlea Single Malt First Release, which launched on Burns Night (25 January) this year, with 7,500 bottles and sold out within 24 hours.
