Description
The seasonal batch releases from Lochlea showcase the signature Lochlea style in four different ways each year.
As a working farm, these expressions tie-in with exactly what is happening here at that time of year.
This glowing Lowland single malt was produced at the Lochlea distillery and bottled as the third release from the 'First Crop', an annual series of limited seasonal bottlings.
The Fallow Edition reflects the autumn season on Lochlea Farm, when the fields are left fallow to rest after a busy harvest.
The rich purple label and carton were chosen to reflect the crisp leaves that cover the ground as temperatures begin to fall.
This is the first Lochlea release to be matured in 100% ex-Oloroso sherry casks and is one of 9,000 bottles filled at 46% ABV.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Plumbs and plenty of rich dark fruits, winter berries and rich dark fruit cake, some golden notes of honey, brioche, a nice sweet tangy note with a touch of light ginger and aniseed, some lingering sweet spices and ripe figs.
Palate: The front of the palate has a nice delicate almost creamy texture of dark sweet autumnal fruits, glazed cinnamon buns, ripe soft plumbs, succulent dates, ruby chocolate and strawberry cheesecake, some soft vanilla and honeycomb.
Finish: The finish is warming and smooth with hints of dark toffee and spice, some hints of malt bread and honey glaze.
