The new Lochlea Single Malt, which came into the barrels from August 2018, has an ABV of 46%. are bottled, and matured in a mixture of bourbon casks and former PX sherry casks. It was composed by Master Distlller Malcom Rennie, who previously worked for Kilchoman, Bruichladdich and Ardbeg. The regular retail price of the first edition: 50 pounds, approx. 60 euros.
The distillery's standard bottling is still scheduled to appear at the beginning of 2022 - and its taste will differ from the first edition.
