Lochlea 7 Year Old Single Estate Single Malt Scotch

Lochlea 7 Year Old Single Estate Single Malt Scotch is a limited-edition Lowland single malt distilled in 2018 and released by Lochlea Distillery in January 2026. Crafted entirely on the distillery's Ayrshire estate, this expression was matured for seven years in seven carefully selected first-fill bourbon casks stored in traditional dunnage warehouses. Bottled at 50% ABV without chill filtration or added colouring, it showcases a rich, creamy character with notes of tropical fruit, stewed apples, vanilla custard, and fresh oak. Buttery pastry, sweet cereal, and warming spices provide depth, creating a beautifully balanced expression of Lochlea's fruit-forward house style.

Food Pairing: Roasted pork tenderloin, aged Gouda, buttery shortbread, apple crumble, vanilla custard, and toasted almonds.

Tasting Notes: Stewed apples, ripe tropical fruits, vanilla custard, creamy cereal, fresh oak, buttery pastry, and warming spice.

Nose: Rich and creamy aromas of stewed apples, soft vanilla, sweet cereal, and delicate orchard fruits.

Palate: Full-bodied and creamy, with tropical fruits, fresh apples, vanilla custard, and gentle oak sweetness.

Finish: Long and warming, with lingering buttery pastry, cereal notes, gentle spice, and refreshing tart green apple.

Serve: Enjoy neat to appreciate its creamy texture and layered fruit character, or add a few drops of water to reveal additional vanilla and orchard fruit sweetness.
