This is the first single malt whisky in the Lochlea distillery's standard range. It was created by Distillery Manager and Master Blender John Campbell (ex Laphroaig), who took up his post in November 2021. Three different types of casks are used: first-fill ex-Bourbon barrels, STR casks and ex-sherry Oloroso Butts. The use of these casks gives 'Lochlea Our Barley' additional aromas of vanilla, caramel, flowers and dried fruit. The result is a deep, round flavor profile. The product is neither colored nor cold-filtered.
This 17-year-old single malt is truly unusual. For the first time, it has been aged exclusively in American oak Hogshead casks. This gives it a spring-like, fruity, honeyed and sweet character.
Nose: Enchanting aromas of dried fruit, chocolate and vanilla. Mouth: An explosion of fruity flavors, caramel and warm spices. Finish: A long, smooth finish, leaving delicate notes of oak and ripe fruit on the palate.
Nose: Arran Decadent Drams 10 Year Old whisky is characterized by aromas of ripe fruit, vanilla and honey, along with woody and spicy notes. Feel: On the palate, there are flavors of candied fruit, caramel and chocolate, with a hint of cinnamon and nuts. Finish: The finish is long and warm, leaving notes of oak, dried fruit and honey on the palate.
