This special release, the Lochlea Aged 6 Years Old Limited Edition, marks a significant milestone in the history of this farm-to-bottle Lowland distillery. As their spirit matures, this bottling showcases the incredible complexity and depth achievable after six years in cask. This expression is drawn from a precise selection of casks, including highly active First-Fill Oloroso Sherry Butts and sweet Ex-Bourbon Hogsheads, providing a rich and beautifully balanced flavour profile. Bottled at a robust 50.0% ABV, this release is non-chillfiltered and limited to approximately 10,000 bottles worldwide, making it a highly sought after collector's item.

Tasting Notes

The nose is wonderfully rich, balanced, and inviting, offering aromas of creamy vanilla fudge, dried orchard fruits (apricot and peach), and dark honey. The palate is full-bodied, oily, and satisfyingly smooth, delivering layers of gingerbread, rich malted biscuits, spiced apple pie, and subtle dark chocolate from the Oloroso influence. The 50.0% ABV is perfectly integrated, amplifying the complex flavours and providing a comforting, structural warmth. The finish is long, clean, and elegant, concluding with notes of sweet oak spice, custard, and lingering sherry warmth.
