Lochlea Overtone Stout Cask Release 70cl 52%

1500 bottles

This release is the culmination of various cask experiments with Glasgow-based craft brewery Overtone. Lochlea Stout Cask Finish started life the same as Lochlea’s signature whisky - Our Barley - matured in a combination of bourbon, STR and oloroso sherry casks. The spirit was then placed into casks that had previously been loaned to Overtone Brewery to age their stout in a for around 8 months. The casks – originally from Lochlea before going to Overtone – were delivered back to the distillery, deliciously seasoned with the brewery’s distinctive rich stout beer – which has proved to be perfect for finishing the fruity and biscuity Lowland spirit

As always, this whisky is non-chill filtered and bottled at slightly higher percentage of 52% ABV, the final dram reveals the influence from the stout through a rich nose.

Nose: All butter shortbread, tropical fruit, macadamia nuts
Palate: Sweet toffee, toasted barley
Finish: Long and silky, moreish fruit and cereal notes

Cask Types: 1x First Fill Bourbon, 1x STR & 1 Oloroso Sherry Butt all of which have been seasoned with Overtone Stout for 8 months
