From the Lochlea distillery comes the second of four planned annual releases, Harvest Edition follows Lochlea Sowing Edition First Crop and combines a trio of cask maturations, for a gloriously fruit rich profile. A combination of Port casks, first-fill oloroso sherry casks, and first-fill bourbon barrels have certainly worked their magic here, in yet another stunning release from the young Lowlands-based distillery.
Syrupy flapjack, honeyed apples, and fresh pear with a touch of hay in the distance.
Summer berries and floral jam, with chocolate-dipped s'mores and drying herbs.
Maple granola, roasted almonds, vegetal malt, and vanilla.

Sweet vanilla, and caramel on the nose with a little port style fruit in the back. Taste is vanilla with a touch of banana and lots of cinnamon, finishing with the spices again. Not long but quite satisfactory. For a young dram this is nice. Obvious it's been mostly in Bourbon casks but I think there may be the odd one or two in sherry and maybe port as well.
