Lochlea Overtone – Over and Stout (Limited Edition)
Rich, bold and brewed in creativity, Lochlea Overtone – Over and Stout is the final chapter in Lochlea’s collaboration with Overtone Brewery, and it lands with serious character. This small-batch release leans into the stout-seasoned cask influence, delivering a whisky that’s dark, rich and layered with depth, yet unmistakably Lochlea at its core.
Bottled at a confident 52% ABV, non-chill filtered and naturally coloured, this edition preserves its full, unpolished personality. The nose opens with a wave of sweet stout, gentle smoke, and warm oak, a combination that instantly signals the whisky’s cask-driven story. Take a sip and the palate swells with creamy vanilla, cinder toffee, and a hit of BBQ smoke, all carried by a weighty texture. The finish is long and satisfying, tapering off into glowing spice, green oak, rye bread and malty cereal notes.
This release, Lochlea Overtone Over and Stout pulls its identity from just five carefully selected casks:
– Three stout-seasoned casks (two Bourbon barrels + one STR barrique)
– One first-fill Bourbon barrel
– One ex-peated Bourbon barrel
The result is a harmony of stouty richness, sweet vanillas and subtle smoke, an evolution of the first Overtone bottling, but deeper, darker and more complex.
Produced by Lochlea Distillery, a fiercely independent, family-run whisky maker in Ayrshire, this whisky reflects their ethos: local barley, sustainable farming, on-site maturation and an unwavering commitment to quality. Their partnership with Glasgow’s Overtone Brewery brings a beer-lover’s twist into the whisky world, and this second, and final, instalment wraps the story with confidence.
Bold, smoky, sweet and stout-driven, Over & Stout is a whisky for those who love rich flavour with a creative edge. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.
