Sowing Edition 2018y

About

Lochlea Sowing Edition is a refreshingly young Single Malt from Scotland's Lowlands, crafted by the independent farm distillery Lochlea in Ayrshire. Using barley and water sourced directly from their own farm, this whisky embodies authentic local character and heritage. The elevated 48% ABV effectively carries the flavour profile, allowing complexity to shine through despite the whisky's youth. On the nose, expect bright fresh fruit, vibrant citrus, and warm honey notes complemented by malty undertones. The palate reveals malty richness alongside oak and peppery spice, with dried spices adding depth and lingering pleasantly across the tongue. The finish remains elegant and soft, with persistent oak and peppery notes that fade gracefully. Technically accomplished for its age, this whisky demonstrates that youth need not compromise quality.
