LOCHLEA DISTILLERY LAUNCHES THEIR OLDEST WHISKY TO DATE

The start of 2025 is already shaping up to be an exciting year for whisky enthusiasts, as Lochlea Distillery announces the release of its much-anticipated 6-Year-Old Single Malt Whisky. Following the overwhelming success of their 5-Year-Old release, this new expression promises to captivate the senses and honour the distillery’s rich traditions.

A Historic Milestone for Lochlea

This limited-edition 6-Year-Old whisky represents the oldest liquid Lochlea has bottled to date, making it a significant milestone for the distillery. With only 2,500 bottles available globally, it’s a rare gem that collectors and connoisseurs will not want to miss. Each bottle is crafted with exceptional care, using six carefully selected first-fill casks—a combination of Oloroso Sherry butts and Bourbon barrels—to deliver a unique and indulgent flavour profile.

Tasting Notes

The Lochlea 6-Year-Old is a testament to the distillery’s meticulous craftsmanship and the quality of its cask selection. Here’s what you can expect:

• Nose: The aroma opens with notes of red grapes, sweet figs, and velvety milk chocolate, setting the stage for a delightful sensory experience.

• Palate: On the palate, creamy panna cotta, malt biscuits, and honey create a luscious and well-rounded flavour profile.

• Finish: The finish is quintessentially Lochlea, with their signature cereal notes complemented by a refreshing hint of lemon zest.

A Toast to Burns’ Night

The release date of January 24th coincides with Burns’ Night, a nod to Lochlea’s historic connection to Scotland’s beloved poet, Robert Burns. This tradition of aligning significant releases with The Bard’s birthday adds an extra layer of meaning to this special bottling. Packaged in premium display cartons and shipped in cases of three, the presentation is as refined as the whisky itself.

Nestled in the heart of Ayrshire, Lochlea Distillery is known for its unwavering commitment to quality and innovation.
