LOCHLEA OVERTONE OVER & STOUT – THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO THIS LIMITED EDITION RELEASE

If you’re looking for a bold and distinctive Lowland whisky, the new and highly limited Lochlea Overtone Over & Stout is one of the standout expressions in the entire Lochlea Overtone series. This limited-edition whisky of which only 1,500 have been produced has gained strong attention from collectors and enthusiasts thanks to its stout cask influence, rich flavour profile, and innovative approach to maturation. As the popularity of the Lochlea Overtone range continues to grow, Over & Stout has emerged as one of the most sought-after bottles for those who appreciate small-batch, flavour-driven Scotch.

What Is Lochlea Overtone Over & Stout?

Lochlea Overtone Over & Stout is a collaboration between Lochlea Distillery and Overtone Brewery. Lochlea supplied a selection of casks to the brewery, where they were used to mature a robust stout. Once the stout had seasoned the wood, the casks returned to Lochlea to be filled with their single malt spirit. The result is a whisky that carries the signature character of the Lochlea Overtone series but with added depth, richness, and roasted stout-driven flavours. This makes it one of the most unique bottlings Lochlea has released.

Why the Lochlea Overtone Series Stands Out

The Lochlea Overtone series is built around seasonal releases and flavour exploration. Over & Stout is particularly admired because it uses stout-seasoned casks rarely seen in Lowland whisky. This release brings together roasted malt notes, chocolate-like depth, and the clean, fruity character Lochlea is known for. As a UK-exclusive, its small-batch nature and limited availability make it a must-have for fans of the Lochlea Overtone series.

Tasting Notes – Lochlea Overtone Over & Stout

Nose: Roasted malt, chocolate, toasted barley, soft smoke, and subtle sweetness.
Palate: Creamy vanilla, cinder toffee, caramelised sugars, stout richness, and rounded Lowland malt character.
Finish: Long, warm, and layered with cereal spice, green oak, cocoa, and gentle spice.
Bottled at 52% ABV, non-chill filtered and naturally coloured, Lochlea Overtone Over & Stout delivers a full-strength, full-flavour experience.

Why Lochlea 

The rising demand for Lochlea and specifically their Overtone series is driven by its innovative cask finish, limited availability, and rich stout-led flavour profile. It stands out in tastings, offers something genuinely different within Lowland Scotch, and reinforces Lochlea’s position as a modern, experimental distillery pushing boundaries with the Overtone series.

Lochlea Overtone Over & Stout is one of the most distinctive and creative expressions Lochlea has produced. With its stout maturation, only 1,500 bottles being produced, bold flavour layers, and collectable status, it represents the very best of what the Lochlea Overtone series aims to achieve. For anyone seeking a unique, limited-edition Lowland whisky, this is an exceptional bottle to add to your collection or enjoy neat.
