New Release from Lochlea

Lochlea Disitllery
Ploughing Edition
Lochlea’s Ploughing Edition is the fourth and final release from the First Crop Seasonal Editions. “We’re pretty excited for this one, it’s been matured in ex-Islay casks (a combination of barrels and quarters) so it has a wee bit of peat influence. The barley itself is still unpeated, so it’s just coming from the influence of the cask. The juicy fruit and cereal notes are still there, but there is a lovely peat smoke up front that lasts right through to the finish.”
– Patrick Dupay
It is also the first smoky whisky released by legendary whisky creator John Campbell that wasn’t distilled on Islay.
