Gegroeid, gedistilleerd en gerijpt bij Lochlea Distillery (onafhankelijk en familiegerund) in Ayrshire, Schotland. Dit is een gelimiteerde 7 jaar oude single malt, volledig gerijpt op locatie en exclusief afkomstig uit 7 handgeselecteerde first-fill bourbonvaten die in 2018 zijn gevuld.<br><br>Waarom dit een mijlpaal is<br>Dit is de oudste Lochlea release tot nu toe, en volgens de distillery zelf ook hun rijkste, romigste en meest complexe age statement die ze hebben uitgebracht, maar nog steeds met die herkenbare Lochlea-fruitigheid.<br><br>Distillery Manager Darren McCormick benadrukt dat zeven jaar rijping voor een jonge distilleerderij echt een groot moment is: de vaten lagen sinds 2018 rustig te rijpen, en juist het samenbrengen (\u201cmarrying\u201d) van die zeven bourbonvaten zou zorgen voor een whisky die weelderig \u00e9n mooi in balans is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text
