About This Lochlea whisky

One of the benefits of Lochlea’s position as an independent distillery is their ability to experiment and collaborate with other like-minded brands.

When they discovered Overtone, one of Glasgow’s best craft breweries, was on the hunt for whisky casks to mature their first-ever double mash stout, they couldn’t turn down the opportunity. Lochlea gifted the brewery with the cask makeup of their core expression, Our Barley: three bourbon barrels, two STR barriques, and one Oloroso sherry butt. The brewery matured their double mash stout in these casks for six months, after which they were returned to Lochlea. Upon their return, our production team filled each stout-seasoned cask with their core expression, Our Barley, for one year.

From these, the team at Lochlea selected three casks to be married together, resulting in their first-ever ‘Stout Cask Finish’.
