As a working farm, Lochlea’s seasonal small batch releases tie-in to reflect the farming calendar. The second in a set of four limited editions, the Harvest Edition Second Crop is inspired by the end of summer when golden barley is harvested and eventually used for the next year’s production. Compared to the previous First Crop, Lochlea have upped the use of Port casks to enhance the creaminess and have also introduced a delightful peppery spice from the STR barriques.
The nose is bursting with ripe red grapes, dates and thick-cut marmalade, while pink peppercorns and dried fruit on the palate add a deliciously different twist on the expression resulting in a beautiful lingering and creamy dram.
Lochlea was a livestock farm when it was acquired in 2006. The piggery became the distillery, the cattle sheds were turned into bonded warehouses and the pasture was converted to barley fields. It’s a site rich in history, as the celebrated Scottish poet Robert Burns lived at Lochlea Farm between 1777 and 1784, no doubt toiling over the same soil that this fiercely independent family-owned distillery now does. As Rabbie famously wrote, “Freedom an’ whisky gang thegither.” So, raise a dram to a new free spirit from Scotland.
