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."

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.

Bottled at 49.4% from a parcel of whisky made from Fife Barley and matured exclusively in ex-Bourbon Casks from Old Forester & Woodford Reserve.
Producer Description
"The first “Casks of Lindores” bottling featured exclusively bourbon barrels, one of the three core cask types used at Lindores, and was limited to 11,000 bottles. These bottlings are bottled at the distillery without chill filtration and at an ABV strength of 49.4%. The Lindores spirit goes extremely well with bourbon casks and helps showcase its early maturing characteristic. The very long wash fermentation period in Douglas fir washbacks, coupled with the “Sister Spirit stills distillation” helps create a spirit that matures early but will continue to develop over time."

The first release from the new Lowland Lindores Abbey Distillery was matured in ex-Bourbon, Sherry, & Wine Casks before bottling at 46%. Though just 3-4 years of age, the whisky shows a lot of promise.
This first release is a nod to the first-ever reference of whisky making, which took place at Lindores Abbey, now in ruins, in 1494. A letter to Friar John Cor was instructed by King James IV to make "auqa vitae, VIII bolls of malt." The ruins sit on lands owned by Drew and Helen McKenzie Smith. In 2017 they opened the Lindores Abbey Distillery with the intent of making it an estate distillery. Beginning in 2020, all of the barley used by the distillery was sourced from the surrounding fields.
