Tasting Notes
Lochlea's Ploughing Edition – First Crop is a winter delight, capturing the essence of the season in a glass. This smoky single malt whisky takes you on a journey through a crisp winter day on the farm. The nose greets you with earthy peat notes mingling with the inviting aromas of warm apple pie, dark caramelized sugar, and a hint of cinnamon spice. As you sip, the bonfire smoke lingers, perfectly balanced with the flavors of spiced apple compote, toasted cobnuts, and buttery shortbread. The finish leaves a lingering warmth, akin to damp embers glowing with allspice, bidding farewell until the next sip. Expertly matured in a combination of ex-Islay whisky barrels and peated quarter casks, this whisky offers a cozy embrace, perfect for savoring by the fireside as the soil is prepared for the next barley sowing.
