Lochlea Cask Strength - Batch 2 70cl Whisky
Lochlea Cask Strength - Batch 2
Lochlea Cask Strength Batch 2 is bottled at a whopping 60% ABV. It’s a combination of single malt Scotch whisky aged in refill bourbon then in Pedro Ximénez (60%), oloroso (28%), and whisky double matured in American oak and European oak STR barriques (shave, toasted, and re-charred - though not heavily charred in this case so the Lochlea spirit can shine).
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Incredibly sticky and delicately floral with syrupy raisins, lavender, toffee apples, and lime marmalade, followed by hints of parma ham, black tea, red grapes, treacle, and wood spice.
Palate
The palate has a viscous, oily texture with notes of blackcurrant cough drops, black pepper, chilli jam, spent matches, clove, and nutmeg.
Finish
Spicy, long, and full of dark fruit.
