Description
Tasting Notes (General Consensus)
The combination of first-fill bourbon and sherry casks creates a well-balanced and complex whisky.
Nose: Expect aromas of red grapes, figs, and milk chocolate from the sherry casks, along with notes of vanilla, honey, and a hint of malt biscuits from the bourbon.
Palate: The palate is described as creamy and rich, with flavours of panna cotta, caramel, and honey. The fruitiness from the sherry casks is present, with notes of dried fruit and a touch of spice.
Finish: The finish is long and elegant, with Lochlea’s signature cereal notes coming through, complemented by a refreshing hint of lemon zest and subtle oak spice.
