Description
Lochlea is an independent, family-owned distillery in the heart of Ayrshire. This is the fourth and final release in their first crop of seasonal limited editions, and is their first ever peated expression. Matured in ex-Islay barrels and peated quarter casks, the peated influence is from the casks as the barley itself was left unpeated. No added colouring and non-chill filtered. 46%ABV
