Lochlea Sowing Edition - Second Crop (2023 Release). Introducing the eagerly awaited 2023 batch of Lochlea's Sowing Edition - a testament to the incredible impact of an additional 6 months of maturation in a distinct section of Warehouse #1. As the distillery continues to evolve, this seasonal release stands as a captivating reflection of Lochlea Whisky's distinctive style, presented in four unique expressions each year. Seamlessly intertwined with the agricultural rhythm of a working farm, these releases honour the nuances of the farming calendar.
This edition proudly features a maturation process utilizing 100% fresh 1st fill ex-Bourbon barrels sourced from higher up in the warehouse compared to the 2022 release. The heightened temperatures, accelerated maturation, and the influence of older spirits culminate in a clear evolution from the previous year's edition.
