Lochlea Sowing Edition (Second Crop)

Lochlea Sowing Edition (Second Crop) is the second annual release in the distillery’s seasonal series, celebrating the arrival of spring on the Lochlea farm. This limited-edition Lowland single malt highlights the house style through a carefully selected range of casks, reflecting the time of year when barley is sown for the next harvest.

Matured exclusively in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels, this expression has been crafted to deliver a lively and fresh flavour profile. The casks for this second crop release were matured higher in the warehouse compared to the previous edition, enhancing its brightness and vibrancy. Bottled at 46% ABV, it is presented non-chill filtered and with no added colouring.

The whisky opens with fruity aromas of red apple and pear on the nose. The palate develops into sweet, nutty layers, complemented by notes of vanilla pods and almond oil, before finishing with a crisp, refreshing pine forest character. Delicate, sweet, and well-balanced, it is an ideal dram for springtime enjoyment.
