This whisky was featured on Day 7 of our 2024 KWM Not An Advent Calendar Tastings! You can read more about the whisky here.
The second edition of Lochlea Cask Strength is rather sherried looking... bottled at 60%, it was created by marrying whiskies matured in 60% Pedro Ximenez and 28% Oloroso casks, with another 12% double matured in American Oak and ex STR Casks.

Evan’s Tasting Note
Nose: So loaded and dense that it is challenging to pull out individual notes until your brain has a moment to compute it all. Or maybe it’s just me who is loaded and dense. Oatmeal drizzled with maple syrup, Oloroso sherry with a touch of turpentine, molasses, malt vinegar, orange juice concentrate, oregano and basil flakes, and chewable children’s vitamins. There are some soft cereal notes in there somewhere too, but they are difficult to pull to the fore.
Palate: Like a reduction made from Five Alive fruit punch – there is so much tangy and syrupy fruit in here it is crazy. Grand Marnier, Lime cordial, apple cider, Chewable vitamin C tablets, chocolate coated espresso beans, and an entire roll of assorted Lifesavers candy put in your mouth all at once. Like on the nose, there are some soft cereal notes underneath, but this is more Froot Loops than Shredded Wheat.
Finish: Long and lasting with notes of grilled pineapple, candied apple and butterscotch.
Comment: Not much subtlety and nuance here. With everything in this dram dialed up to 11, it undeniably makes for a memorable experience!
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Apples, peach syrup, marmalade.
Palate: Wild lavender, rose petals.
Finish: Black pepper, signature Lochlea fruit.

Producer Note: "Our seasonal small batch releases showcase the signature Lochlea style in four different ways each year. As a working farm, these expressions tie-in to reflect the farming calendar. In our Sowing Edition (Second Crop) for 2023 we have used 100% fresh 1st-fill ex-Bourbon barrels from higher up in the warehouse than 2022. The heat, faster maturation, and older spirit combine to show a clear progression from last year's edition."
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 46% abv.

Producer Note: "The fourth and final in an annual series of limited seasonal bottlings, Lochlea 'Ploughing' Edition (First Crop) reflects the season of Winter on the farm, when we start to plough the fields in preparation for sowing the barley seed in Spring. The icy blue label reflects the season of winter on the farm, when we plough the fields in preparation for sowing the barley seed in Spring. Matured in 100% ex-Islay 200 litre barrels, this dram is fruity and sweet, with a little kick of peat."
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 46% abv
