Presented with the Lochlea 5 Years 2018/2023 The “farm distillery” is their oldest and first bottling with an age statement. The single malt combines five bourbon and sherry casks hand-picked by John Campbell. Two of them date from 2018 and are among the first casks Lochlea ever filled. The five-year-old was 50% vol.
