The fourth and final in an annual series of limited seasonal bottlings Lochlea ‘ploughing edition’ reflects the season of Winter on the farm, when Lochlea start to plough the fields in preparation for sowing the barley seed in Spring. The Distillery have created a warming, smoky version of their signature whisky by using a combination of ex-islay barrels and peated quarter casks and have chosen an icy blue label to reflect the bitterly cold and frosty Ayrshire winters.

Nose: Baked Fruit with a light peat smoke in the background

Palate: Old fashioned boiled sweets, cooked apple and Brazil nuts.

Finish: Lingering fruit and nuttiness, all intertwined with a haze of Islay peat smoke
