Lochlea Cask Strength Batch 3 - 2025 Release

Batch 3 cask-strength single malt delivers rich, full-bodied depth with a subtle smoky twist. A deliberate marrying of sherry influence and ex-Islay bourbon barrels creates a balanced, warming dram with bold flavor and long, satisfying finish. Lochlea Cask Strength Batch 3 Single Malt Scotch 59.8% ABV Nose: Rich and juicy on the nose, with abundant ripe red fruits and a subtle hint of smoky bacon, weaving a savory edge through the sweetness and hinting at the dram's smoky complexity. Palate: Cherries and ripe berries lead, threaded with ginger cake and dark sugar. A rye-spice backbone supports BBQ smoke, weaving a savory, lingering finish. Finish: Long & rich, with baking spice, salty smoke, red roses & oaky tannins woven through.
