    The First Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Lochlea, a family-owned distillery in the heart of Ayrshire which started distilling in 2018.  The most famous Soct of all time, our national poet Robert Burns, lived and worked at Lochlea during his formative years (1777-1784), and what better date to launch this Inaugural release than on the 25th of January, Burn's birthday. Bottled at 46% ABV, the Single Malt Whisky was matured in first-fill bourbon and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. It is bottled naturally with no added colouring, and is non-chill filtered.

    Lochlea

    Lochlea Distillery, situated in Ayrshire, Scotland, embodies a blend of tradition and modern whisky-making. The distillery was established on the historic Lochlea Farm, where Scotland's national poet Robert Burns once lived and worked from 1777 to 1784. This connection adds a rich cultural layer to the distillery's narrative. Lochlea began its whisky production in 2018, focusing on crafting single malt Scotch whisky from barley grown on its own land, making it a true farm-to-bottle operation. The distillery prides itself on its commitment to quality over quantity, with a production capacity that allows for meticulous attention to detail. Lochlea's approach involves using traditional methods alongside innovative cask selection to develop a distinctive spirit profile. Their whisky is known for its fruity and slightly nutty character, which comes from extended fermentation times, unique yeast strains, and a high spirit cut during distillation.
