Lochlea Unveils Their Oldest Single Estate Single Malt So Far

Grown, Distilled and Matured by Lochlea Distillery, an independent, Single Estate,
family run Distillery in Ayrshire, Scotland. This limited 7 Year Old Single Malt represents
the next milestone in Lochlea’s journey.

Matured exclusively in 7 Hand-selected First-fill
Bourbon Casks filled in 2018 this release reflects the distillery’s unwavering
commitment to provenance, quality and full on-site maturation.


As Lochlea’s oldest whisky release to date, the 7 Year Old showcases the natural
evolution of their spirit: richer, deeper and more expressive, while retaining the
signature Lochlea fruit character. Each of the 7 casks contributes its own nuance, from
tropical fruit and peaches to vanilla custard, sweet pineapple tarts and creamy cereal
notes. Carefully married to create a beautifully balanced whisky.


Lochlea invites whisky lovers to enjoy this rare release, crafted with patience, precision
and the unique character of their Single Estate Single Malt.


Distillery Manager Darren McCormick said:
“Reaching seven years of maturation is a huge moment for us as a young distillery.
These casks have been quietly resting in our warehouses since 2018, and the
transformation over time has been incredible to watch. Our 7 Year Old is the richest,
creamiest and most complex age statement we’ve released so far, yet it still carries that
unmistakable Lochlea fruitiness.”


Darren continued:
“Each of the 7 Hand-selected First-fill Bourbon Casks bring something different, from
tropical fruits to buttery pastry notes, and marrying them together has created a whisky
that feels both indulgent and beautifully balanced. We’re incredibly proud of this
release, and we can’t wait for people to taste how our spirit continues to mature and
evolve.”


This special release is Non-chill Filtered & Natural Colour preserving its natural
character. Bottled at 50% ABV, it offers a rich, layered profile that reflects both the
quality of the casks and the purity of Lochlea’s Single Estate Spirit.
