Description
Lochlea Distillery, a relatively new opening in Ayrshire, was set up on a historic farm and emphasises the connection between agriculture and whisky-making. John Campbell, the former master distiller at Laphroaig, oversees production, ensuring a high-quality standard. The Ploughing Edition First Crop celebrates Lochlea’s inaugural release in their seasonal series. As its “winter release”, it celebrates a time when the soil is ploughed, ready for the barley to be planted.

About this spirit
Barley
Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
