Lochlea 2018 50% 700ml information

The Lochlea 2018 50% 700ml is a limited edition 5-year-old single malt Scotch whisky from the Lochlea Distillery, which was established in 2018. This is the distillery's first age statement release and their oldest bottling to date. The whisky was produced under the expert supervision of distillery manager Malcolm Rennie, who has 34 years of experience in the industry, having previously worked at renowned distilleries such as Ardbeg, Bruichladdich, and Kilchoman. He has since been succeeded by John Campbell. This unique whisky is a blend of distillates matured in five different cask types: first-fill bourbon, first-fill Oloroso sherry, double matured Pedro Ximenez sherry, and two casks from the distillery's very first filling in August 2018. Bottled at cask strength and without chill filtration or any added coloring, the Lochlea 2018 50% 700ml maintains the purity and authenticity of its original state. Visually, the whisky boasts a rich, reddish-amber color and is presented in a beautiful, distinctive bottle. Aromatically and flavor-wise, it is complex and robust. On the nose and palate, it offers layers of grilled banana, brown sugar, bread, and hazelnut, balanced with citrus fruit peel, streusel cake, pear, caramel, and pepper. There are occasional hints of rose petals, leather, and oak. This high-quality, rare product is best enjoyed neat, although some may prefer to dilute its relatively high alcohol content with a little water or ice. Overall, the Lochlea 2018 50% 700ml is an exceptional whisky that will appeal to connoisseurs of fine, artisanal spirits. It is a testament to the skill and expertise of the team at Lochlea Distillery and a fitting tribute to the distillery's first five years of operation.
