The second release of Lochlea's Harvest Edition, a range inspired by the end of summer when the farm distillery's barley is harvested and used for the next year’s whisky production. It was matured in a combination of carefully selected Tawny and Ruby Port casks, STR barriques, and first-fill bourbon barrels, but this year there's a much higher proportion of Port casks as the spirit is another year older and the brand felt that it could stand up to the intensity these casks.
Nose Dried fruit, marmalade, ginger snaps, and apple.
Palate Walnut, chocolate-covered raspberries, pink peppercorns, and sweet spice.
Finish Sticky toffee, sweet tobacco, and red grapes.
