Lochlea 'Fallow Edition' (Third Crop) 46% Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl
Lochlea Distillery has returned with the final series of their seasonal, small-batch releases showcasing their signature style in four unique ways across the year, each reflecting a key period in the farming calendar. The Fallow Editions reflect the season of autumn on the farm when the fields are left fallow to rest after a busy harvest.
In ‘Fallow Edition’ (Third Crop), they've matured their signature Lochlea spirit in fresh, first-fill Oloroso Sherry Butts, and the liquid is one year older than the 2023 Edition (Second Crop). This different casky makeup highlights the distillery's progression as the last in the popular sherry-influenced Fallow trilogy.
Boasting a beautiful deep red hue, Fallow Edition (Third Crop) has warm, comforting flavours of fresh bread, Manuka honey, and baked apples. This dram is the perfect companion for an evening by the fire as temperatures begin to fall.

Lochlea Distillery
Lochlea is an independently owned distillery under the management of ex-Laphroaig Distillery Manager John Campbell. Having built up one of the top ten Scotch brands in the world over the past 27 years, John brings a wealth of knowledge and a burning ambition to help Lochlea fulfil its potential.
Of course, whisky isn't a one-man game, and John is part of a talented and committed team of experts at Lochlea who handle everything from production to PR, all headed up by the most important staff member, Indiana Bones (Indie).
Since the distillery was first commissioned in 2016, the team and their drams have gone on to win countless awards, including "Brand Innovator" and "Single Estate" at the Icons of Whisky Awards 2024 and a Gold Medal from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2023 for their debut core expression, 'Our Barley'.
Alongside their unique, modern approach to whisky making, Lochlea is also rooted in Scottish history. Robert Burns called Lochlea his home throughout his formative years, from 1777 through until his father’s death in 1784. By day, Burns worked hard on the farm and in the evening, he enjoyed the company of his friends, debating at the Bachelors Club in nearby Tarbolton. This location has inspired the honest, passionate and progressive nature of Lochlea whisky.
