Lochlea - First Release
Free shipping: Germany from 150 €, EU from 350 €.
A great deal of time, perseverance, and attention to detail went into the Lochlea First Release. This single malt Scotch whisky, which is neither chill-filtered nor colored, builds anticipation for the core release, which is scheduled to follow in 2022. This is achieved with a profile rather atypical for the Lowlands: lush, fresh garden fruits meet the sweetness of caramel, vanilla fudge, and grains, as well as a delicate spice. The first release developed its appealing aromas in first-fill bourbon and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, which Lochlea sources directly from Kentucky and Jerez. The design of the 7,000 bottles worldwide is inspired by a down-to-earth, everyday detail of the farm distillery: tractor tracks.
Tasting Notes
Nose: An abundance of fresh garden fruits, apples, tangy oranges, and pear-drop candies. Some brown sugar, toffee, and vanilla fudge in the background.
Palate: Rich and sweet with burnt caramel and hazelnuts. Still plenty of fruit in the form of fruit compote, along with toasted oat flakes, cinnamon, and cloves.
Finish: Medium-long with fresh fruits, cereal sweetness and a light spice.
