Lochlea Small Batch STR Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky hails from the serene Ayrshire countryside of Scotland, offering a meticulously crafted expression that reflects its rich heritage. The second release in their annual Cask Strength series, this whisky is entirely undiluted, non-chill filtered, and contains no added coloring, delivering an authentic experience at a robust 60% ABV. Aged in a blend of Pedro Ximénez (PX), Oloroso, and STR (shaved, toasted, and re-charred) casks, this limited-edition release exudes a bold and harmonious complexity.
On the nose, expect a lively bouquet of crisp apples, zesty marmalade, and sweet peach syrup, inviting you to explore its depth further. The palate unveils an elegant medley of delicate rose petals and wild lavender, beautifully balanced by the richness imparted from its unique cask maturation. The finish lingers with a warming touch of black pepper and a hint of dried fruits, leaving a lasting impression of finesse and boldness.
Perfect for savoring neat or with a splash of water to unlock its intricate layers, this Scotch whisky is a testament to Lochlea’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or looking for something exceptional, the Lochlea Cask Strength Batch Two is an unforgettable journey into Scotland’s single malt artistry.
