Lochlea - Orchard and Oak

Lochlea – Orchard & Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Lochlea continues to carve its own path in the world of Lowland whisky, and Orchard & Oak is its freshest step forward. Joining the distillery’s core range, this bright and fruit-forward single malt celebrates vibrancy, balance, and character,  all the hallmarks of Lochlea’s craft.

Matured in a thoughtful combination of first-fill Bourbon, Virgin American Oak, and Calvados casks, Orchard & Oak is a whisky that wears its influences proudly. The Bourbon casks bring vanilla and soft sweetness, the Virgin Oak layers in warm spice and body, while the Calvados casks deliver that distinctive orchard-fruit brightness.

On the nose, expect an inviting bouquet of fresh green apple, buttery caramel, and soft oak. The palate opens with orchard fruits in full bloom,  crisp apples and pears, enriched by toffee, sweet spice, and grassy freshness. A silky oak character underpins the dram, before a long, warming finish where spice and orchard sweetness intertwine.

Bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered, and with natural colour, this is whisky in its purest form, unadulterated, honest, and brimming with flavour.

This is a shining example of the distillery’s innovative style,  youthful yet confident, refreshing yet complex.
