About the Lochlea Fallow Edition First Crop 700ml
Lochlea Fallow Edition First Crop Lowland single malt Scotch whisky. Released on 3rd November 2022, this is the third release of the seasonal series. Matured in Ex-Sherry Oloroso first fill casks. Limited edition of 9,000 bottles.
Tasting Notes:
The colour is dark amber.
On the nose, the contribution of the ex-Sherry casks translates mainly into an even over-pronounced vinous note (which, in terms of intensity, doesn’t retreat one step over time), along with figs, sultanas, nuts (walnuts and almonds) and milk chocolate. A floral vagueness in the background accompanies impressions of salted caramel and roasted chestnuts, with a touch of nutmeg. A fleeting memory of zabaglione appears in the distance.
On the palate, the entry is lively peppery (white pepper) and lends a certain dynamism to a profile of orange zest, caramel (unsalted), sultanas and hazelnut cream. Peach in syrup and a very ripe yellow apple complete a decidedly more harmonious and convincing picture, even if the finish, unfortunately, is not very long, with faint hints of milk chocolate and caramel, and a hint of citrus.
The sherried dimension, so exuberant on the nose, fortunately finds greater balance on the palate, and the whole, though largely perfectible, is certainly a fine promise of things to come.
