Lochlea Cask Strength Batch 1 is the first in a series of annual limited-edition bottlings. Each batch will be bottled straight from the casks without water, like trying samples from the warehouse itself! Master Blender John Campbell and the team at Lochlea have chosen Bourbon and Sherry casks this time, and every year will show further progression of our whisky. Despite the very limited volume available in each country, the few who manage to secure a bottle will experience a true undiluted and unfiltered window into Lochlea whisky.

The series begins with Edition 1 at 46% Vol, and as always non-chill filtered and with no added colouring. We are very excited to embark upon a brand new series!

As part of its 20th anniversary, Compass Box has released this limited edition cask strength bottling of its Peat Monster as a nod to the USA-rooted origin story of the core expression. Peat Monster came about after Compass Box created a whisky for Park Avenue Liquor Shop in New York, which became a hit, and so Peat Monster was born. This expression of the blended malt Scotch sees some of the whisky that makes up the blend finished in virgin American oak barrels, for some extra vanilla and spice.
From Boann Distillery comes The Whistler P.X. I Love You Single Malt, a delightful example of the decadence of the Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry, the influence this fortified wines casks can have on whiskey, and the power of a good name. It's like P.S. I Love You. Get it?
This single malt Irish whiskey was made from 100% malted barley and finished for at least nine months in PX casks before being bottled at 46% ABV without chill-filtration or colouring.
On the west coast of the Isle of Arran lies a windswept and mystical peat
bog called Machrie Moor. Bronze Age stone circles and standing stones
are strewn across its barren, undulating terrain. One of the stone circles
is known as Fingals Cauldron Seat, where sits a stone with a carved hole.
The legendary warrior giant Fingal is said to have tethered his favourite dog
Bran to this stone. This peated expression of the Arran Single Malt perfectly
captures the rugged beauty and lore of the landscape. Unleash the legend
that is Machrie Moor.

Think you know peaty whisky? Think again. The fourth in Glenfiddich's much-admired Experimental Series is a marriage of their rarely-seen peated whisky with unpeated bourbon-aged single malt, all of which is finished in Latin rum casks.
The result is a surprisingly sweet and smoky dram that blends rich caramel and spice notes with fresh green fruit and soft pillowy smoke. A worthy continuation of the series that's very interesting to pair with different types of food try it with spicy sausage or ice cream, for example.

The Circle is based around a parcel of fruity and creamy single malt from the Tamdhu Distillery in Speyside. This is supported by malt whisky from the Clynelish Distillery. A touch of peated malt whisky from an Orkney distillery and a small proportion of a French oak-finished blended malt whisky complete the recipe.

To create a blend with Compass Box founder John Glaser and whiskymaker Jill Boyd. Rosey wanted to make an approachable whisky to be shared with friends, something for the daytime, a whisky with brightness. She called it sunshine in a glass.

Our seasonal small batch releases showcase the signature Lochlea style in four different
ways each year. As a working farm, these expressions tie-in to reflect the farming
calendar. In our Harvest Edition (Second Crop), we have carefully selected Port casks,
STR barriques and first-fill Bourbon barrels to offer a deliciously different twist this
year. In comparison to Harvest Edition (First Crop), we have incorporated a much higher
proportion of Port casks to enhance the whiskys creaminess, whilst also introducing
a delightful peppery spice from the STR barriques. The second in a new set of four
limited editions, this whisky is inspired by the end of summer, when our golden barley is
harvested and eventually used for the next years production.
Nose: Dates, ripe red grapes, thick cut marmalade
Palate: Pink peppercorns and dried fruit
Finish: A beautiful lingering creamy finish

These Licensed bottlings were originally bottled at 40% until 2006-07, when the strength was upped to 43%. The younger vintage and age statement releases in the Licensed Bottlings range were officially renamed Distillery Labels around 2012.
