We'd like to introduce our third and final Crop of Sowing Edition, matured exclusively in first-fill Bourbon barrels.

Our limited edition seasonal whiskies have been a great way for us to showcase our spirit style in a variety of different casks to reflect the farming calendar. Our Third Crop will be the last, completing the trilogy.

Sowing Edition embodies springtime on Lochlea Farm when we sow the fields with barley seed. The days start to stretch, the daffodils pop out to say hello, and we begin another year of growing barley for our single malt whisky.

Like the First and Second Crops, Sowing Edition Third Crop has been matured in 100% first-fill Bourbon barrels. We’ve found over the years that our spirit works particularly well in this type of cask, as the apple notes in our new make complement the vanilla flavours typically found in Bourbon barrels.

This whisky opens with flavours of almonds and rose petals on the nose, developing into a vibrant burst of apple blossom underpinned with white pepper and crisp pear on the palate. The finish is gentle, with notes of warm straw and freshly-cut grass.
