This release brings deeper fruit, richer layers and a quiet confidence shaped by time. It’s unmistakably Lochlea, with seven seasons of patience behind it.
A celebration of where they started and a glimpse of where they’re going. Lochlea 7 Year Old is a proud moment for the whole team.
Nose: Rock Island is a Scottish vatted malt from the Highlands. Its nose reveals aromas of peat, sea salt and dried fruit. Feel: On the palate, this whisky offers notes of cereal, vanilla and smoke, with a smooth, creamy texture. Finish: Rock Island's finish is long and enveloping, leaving saline and peppery flavors on the palate.
Nose: Fruity aromas of red berries and spicy vanilla notes. Mouth: A creamy texture with flavors of ripe fruit, oak and caramel. Finish: A long, warm finish with notes of dried fruit and oak.
Nose: Overall dry, vinous impression supported by spicy, woody notes. Seductive aromas of tart red berries, vanilla, a hint of wax. A little water softens the nose and relaxes the aroma, without much alteration.
Mouth: Ultra-unctuous, gourmet texture. Barley sugar, pinch of salt, suggestions of currant and crunchy grape. At reduced strength, it's not as tart, but still spicy; the sweetness is enhanced but the mouth-watering spicy heat remains.
Finish: Long and dry with pepper and mild spice. With milder water, now with a trace of fondant in the aftertaste.
Nose: Rich, sweet aromas with notes of vanilla, caramel, berries and fresh herbs. Mouth: Toasty oak, fruit and great sweetness. Finish: Smooth, with hints of oak.
