Lochlea 2020 Oloroso #244 Awakening - 59,6%

This 6-year-old Lochlea was bottled by the Thompson Bros in 2026. The whisky matured in first-fill barrel #88 and has an alcohol content of 57.1%.

Orchard & Oak is a light, fruit-forward single malt aged in bourbon, virgin American oak and Calvados casks. It combines lively notes of fresh apple with buttery caramel and sweet oak, a soft, grassy freshness and a gentle, spicy finish.

If you like your whisky powerful and opulent, Dark Briar is the right choice for you. Inspired by the seasonal Fallow Edition, this sumptuous single malt is matured in a combination of sherry and port casks, developing aromas of juicy red fruits, gingerbread and velvety baking spices.

For Smoke without Fire, Lochlea relies on ex-peated refill bourbon barrels and red wine casks, just like its role model, the former Ploughing Edition. It balances red fruit with floral sweetness and gentle campfire smoke, capturing the subtle complexity of the peat influence without masking the natural elegance of the spirit.

The popular Lochlea Fallow Edition (Third Crop) from sherry casks is dedicated to the end of the season – and fittingly also marks the end of the series. Lochlea selected only first fill Oloroso sherry butts for the final bottling. Rich and matured for an extra year, the Lowland single malt offers a fruity and spicy experience with notes of baked apple, date, honey, nutty malt bread and pepper.

With Lochlea, the Scottish distillery landscape has recently grown to include an independent, family-run farm distillery. It is not only the former Laphroaig Distillery Manager and current Lochlea Production Director and Master Blender, John Campbell, who is responsible for the distinctive style of their single malt. As one of only four distilleries in Scotland, Lochlea uses only barley from its own cultivation and distils and matures its whisky on site. From the field to the bottle, Lochlea single malt is traceable - in keeping with the distillery's motto, "Dare to be honest".

With the Lochlea Ploughing Edition (Second Crop), the small team sends up smoke signals for the second time. Unlike last year, this limited single malt from the "Seasonal Releases" range matured exclusively in ex-Islay casks holding just 200 litres each. At an ideal drinking strength, this Lowlander unfolds a profile that gets you in the mood for spring: with fresh fruit and typical cereal notes as well as sea salt, hay and gentle peat.

The first single cask from Lochlea Distillery exclusively for the German market. Distilled in 2018, matured in an Oloroso sherry hogshead and bottled in summer 2023.
