The debut release for Lochlea was matured in a combination of first-fill ex-Bourbon and PX Sherry casks. The nose has touches of peaches, pears, honeysuckle, a hint of fig cookies, and a good maltiness. The taste is fruity and tart with peaches, pears, figs, barley sugar, and a touch of apple cobbler. The finish is long and fruity with touches of barley sugar and dried fruits. (November, 2022)
