Hard To Find Whisky ‘Lochlea Single Malt’ ~ Scotch Whisky News
February 23rd, 2026
Lochlea is an independent and family-owned craft whisky distillery located in the Lowlands region of Scotland to the south of Kilmarnock. It is a farm distillery that grows all of the barley used in production. The farm is the former home of the famous Scottish poet Robert Burns, who lived and worked there between 1777 and 1784.
Their inaugural release was released in 2021 and since then a flurry of limited edition and cask strength variants have been launched. Lochlea produces a robust cereal-led style of spirit. This is heavier than the regular style associated with the Lowlands, which are known to be light and delicate with floral and grassy notes.
