Lochlea was a cattle farm when originally acquired it in 2006. Extending some 222 acres it was realised that for a farm of that size to be viable something very different had to be done. Lochlea is also the only distillery in the world who can rightfully claim that Robert Burns himself lived and worked here. He spent his formative years from 1777-1784 at Lochlea.
Aged in exclusively first-fill Bourbon Barrels, this expression is one year senior to the 2nd Crop, lending it greater depth in the spirit. Distilled during the chilliest season, it boasts refreshing, crisp notes unlike its warmer-season counterparts. Expect delightful nuances of honey-roasted almonds, apple blossom, and hints of pine and grass. Lochlea’s distinctive fruit and cereal characteristics shine through, accentuated by a fresh, springtime twist!
