The latest release from Lochlea Distillery, skilfully blended with Lochlea malt whisky from a mix of bourbon, sherry and re-charred casks for balance and complexity
The combination of casks used for Lochlea's Our Barley gives complexity and character- lending warm, spicy vanilla, fruit preserve and beeswax notes, alongside brighter and nostalgic hints of boiled sweets and old-school sodas. A well balanced whisky with bags of charm.

"At Lochlea, our independently-owned distillery has been quietly producing, casking, and maturing our spirit over the last few years, patiently waiting to share the fruits of our labour with the world.
Initially led by the experience and expertise of distillery manager Malcolm Rennie, and now under the management of ex-Laphroaig Distillery Manager John Campbell. Having built up one of the top ten Scotch brands in the world over the past 27 years, John brings a wealth of knowledge and a burning ambition to help Lochlea fulfil its potential.
And the result? A whisky for drinking. A whisky that’s not just a bottle to be admired, collected, or saved. It's a whisky that should find its home in cocktail cabinets, around campfires, in wedding hip flasks, and in your favourite bars, pubs, and restaurants."
Love, care and attention from field to cask has been paramount in creating Malcolm's masterpiece. The family-run farm grows and harvests their own barley with draff used to feed local cattle. The water is raised from aquifers in the limestone deep below the steading.
Rooted in Scottish history, we are very proud that Robert Burns called Lochlea his home throughout his formative years, from 1777 through until his father’s death in 1784. By day, Burns worked hard on the farm and in the evening he enjoyed the company of his friends, debating at the Bachelors Club in nearby Tarbolton. The ground here has inspired the honest, passionate and progressive nature of Lochlea whisky."
