Lochlea Cask Strength Batch 3

Cask Strength Batch 3 is the third in a series of annual limited-edition bottlings.
Each batch will be bottled straight from the casks without water, like trying
samples from the warehouse itself. Batch 3 of our annual Cask Strength release
offers yet another bold and distinctive take on Lochlea. Our Master Blender has
carefully selected a combination of Oloroso Sherry Butts and Ex-Islay Peated
Casks, creating a whisky that balances richness and depth with a surprising twist
of smoke. The nose opens with juicy, ripe red fruits, and savoury BBQ smoke.
On the palate, cherries, ripe berries, and dark molasses are lifted by warming
ginger cake, toasted rye, and charred wood smoke. The finish is long and
complex, with baking spice, salty smoke, and oaky tannins intertwining with
delicate floral notes of red roses.
