LochLea

Our Barley

The award winning Our Barley from Lochlea distillery is the core single malt expression. This is a constant release from Lochlea distillery, sitting alongside seasonal limited edition whiskies.

Created from the barley grown on the Lochlea farm, 'Our Barley' is carefully crafted using a combination of first - fill Bourbon, Oloroso Sherry and STR casks. The result, a level of depth and complexity.

The Distillery

Historically a dairy farm, Lochlea farm underwent a transformation in 2006 when new owners Neil and Jen took over. In 2016, after years of farming pedigree beef cattle, they decided in order to remain viable, they needed to take a different approach...

Historically, the farm had grown barley as feed for livestock. Inspired by this, they decided to plant 50 acres of malting barley in 2015...

After some experimentation, mistakes and little triumphs in entering the malting industry, the team grew confidence and decided to take the leap... they would open and operate their own single malt distillery at Lochlea Farm.

In 2017 construction began, transforming farming steadings into the distillery. Licenses were commissioned in 2018 and the rest is history! This leap of faith resulted in the wonderful drams you are able to order today.

"a very different profile to the traditional typical lowland style"

"Rooted in Scottish history, we are very proud that Robert Burns called Lochlea his home throughout his formative years, from 1777 until his father’s death in 1784."

the whisky

"Lochlea is different. Using our own barley grown at Lochlea, nurturing long ferementation and being meticulose with our cut points creates a new make bursting with orchard furit and elegant beyond its years.

Our diligent process at each stage of production creates a unique spirit character, defined by the carefully selected raw materials and the skill of our team. It is led with great patience and attention to detail by our production team...pull(ing) through the signature Lochlea flavours of juicy fruit and moreish cereal - a very different profile to the traditional Lowland style."
