Lochlea – Ploughing Edition (First Crop) (46%)

Lochlea Ploughing Edition is the first peated bottling from Lochlea, an independent, family-run farm distillery in Ayrshire. It is part of the distillery's seasonal releases and is bottled at 46%. The single malt was matured in a combination of ex-Islay casks and peated quarter casks. The edition takes its inspiration from the long winters on the farm where Robert Burns lived from 1777 to 1784, and its pale blue label reflects the frosty Ayrshire winters. The aromas are of sweets, baked fruit and nuts, with lasting Islay peat.
