The Lochlea Harvest Edition Second Crop is the second release in a series of four limited editions from the innovative Lochlea Distillery, located in the heart of Ayrshire, Scotland. This whisky is produced by a family-run distillery and is made from barley grown on their own farm, showcasing the unique terroir of the region. The whisky is a combination of Ruby Port, Tawny Port, STR barriques, and first-fill Bourbon barrels, with a higher proportion of Port casks compared to the first release.
The nose is filled with aromas of dates, red grapes, and thick cut marmalade, followed by pink peppercorn and dried fruit flavors on the palate. The finish is long-lasting and creamy, with a hint of peppery spice from the STR barriques. The distillery's signature style is showcased in four different ways each year, reflecting the farming calendar.
The Lochlea Harvest Edition Second Crop is a small-batch release, with a limited number of bottles available. The whisky is produced under the watchful eye of distillery manager Malcolm Rennie, who has over 34 years of experience in the industry and has previously worked at Ardbeg, Bruichladdich, and Kilchoman. This whisky is a must-try for any whisky enthusiast looking to discover a new, innovative distillery and its unique style.
