Lochlea Our Barley bourbon sherry STR cask Vol.46% Cl.70

The Lochlea "Our Barley" is a single malt created by John Campbell, produced from whiskey aged in first fill ex-bourbon casks, Oloroso Sherry Butts and STR barriques.

It is the third bottling of Lochlea to be marketed, and the first that will remain permanently in the range.

This Single malt whiskey, continuous and with no indication of aging was born under the supervision of the former director of the Laphroaig distillery John Campbell, and the result of the alembic distillation of only barley grown directly in the fields of Lochlea Farm.

Lochlea "Our Barley" is a single malt Scotch whisky, distilled in 2018, and aged in a mix of casks: first-fill ex-bourbon, ex-sherry Oloroso butts and STR casks, before being bottled at 46% vol . without being cold filtered and without the addition of colourings.

Lochlea is a Scottish farm outside Kilmarnock, a new Scottish micro distillery opened a few years ago, with a capacity of just 200,000 liters a year.

Lochlea Farm was bought in 2006 by Neil McGeoch and at least initially the idea of distilling single malt was not contemplated, on the farm they only thought of cereals and cattle breeding.

The McGeoch family, in fact, has a long experience in growing barley to supply the whiskey industry.

Over time, however, the idea of opening one's own distillery became stronger and stronger, and this is how the distillation license was requested in 2014, while the distillery was built in 2017.

Lochlea has already wowed us with early limited edition releases, but here we have the product that will be promoting the distillery for the foreseeable future.

For the creation of these releases, the distillery only uses barley grown on its own land and belonging to a specific season.
