DESCRIPTION
Eine Woche nach der Burns Night ist er auch bei uns eingetroffen: der Single Malt, der den offiziellen Start der Lochlea Distillery in der schottischen Brennereilandschaft markiert. Mit Lochlea (ausgesprochen: „Lochli“) wächst diese um eine unabhängige Farm Distillery, die sich mit dem ehemaligen Laphroaig Distillery Manager John Campbell eine lebende Legende als Production Director und Master Blender gesichert hat.

Viel Zeit, Ausdauer und Liebe zum Detail ist in das Lochlea First Release geflossen. Der weder kühlfiltrierte noch gefärbte Single Malt Scotch Whisky stiftet Vorfreude auf das Core Release, das noch 2022 folgen soll. Dies gelingt mit einem für die Lowlands eher untypischen Profil: üppige, frische Gartenfrüchte treffen auf die Süße von Karamell, Vanille-Fudge und Getreide sowie eine feine Würze.

Seine ansprechenden Aromen entwickelte das First Release in First Fill Bourbon und Pedro Ximénez Sherry Casks, die Lochlea direkt aus Kentucky und Jerez bezieht. Das Design der weltweit 7.000 Flaschen ist inspiriert von einem bodenständigen Alltagsdetail der Farm Distillery: Traktorspuren.

TASTING NOTES
Nose Eine Fülle frischer Gartenfrüchte, Äpfel, spritzige Orangen und „Pear-Drop“-Bonbons. Etwas brauner Zucker, Toffee und Vanille-Fudge im Hintergrund.
Palate Üppig und süß mit gebranntem Karamell und Haselnüssen. Immer noch viel Frucht in Form von Obstkompott, dazu geröstete Haferflocken, Zimt und Nelken.
Finish Mittellang mit frischen Früchten, Getreidesüße und einer leichten Würze.

  • Lochlea - Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

    The Lochlea Distillery is located in Ayrshire, Scotland, and was founded in 2014. It is situated on the historic Lochlea Farm, which was once farmed by the famous Scottish poet Robert Burns. The distillery was initiated by Neil and Jen McGeachie and follows a sustainable approach, utilizing local resources and growing its own barley. Production began in 2018, with the first release in 2022.

    Lochlea is known for its innovative and seasonal releases. Popular editions include the "Sowing Edition," the "Harvest Edition," and the "Ploughing Edition." These whiskies reflect the seasons, each offering a unique flavor profile. For example, the "Sowing Edition" features notes of green apple peel, pear drops, and vanilla, while the "Harvest Edition" offers rich fruit notes from a combination of Port, Oloroso Sherry, and Bourbon casks.

    The typical flavor profile of Lochlea whiskies is fruity and balanced, often with notes of vanilla, caramel, and light spices, achieved through the use of various cask types. The whiskies mature in a mix of Bourbon, Sherry, and wine casks, contributing to their complexity and depth.

    Lochlea Distillery places great emphasis on quality and sustainability and has quickly made a name for itself in the whisky world. Despite its young history, it has established a strong reputation among Scottish distilleries through its high-quality products and commitment to traditional and sustainable production methods.
