Our Farm
Our Distillery
Our Single Estate

In the heart of Ayrshire, we grow our barley, distil our spirit and mature our whisky on the same land. A quietly modern Lowland single malt, shaped by the seasons.

Single Estate Distillery of the Year.

In 2023, the Icons of Whisky Awards introduced a new global category to recognise distilleries that create everything in one place. Lochlea was the first to win this. We won this again in 2024 for Scotland. 

We grow, distil and mature every drop at Lochlea.

Built into the farm

Commissioned in 2018, Lochlea Distillery was designed with patience and long-term quality in mind – favouring flavour, consistency and control over speed or scale.

our story shapes
our whisky

The story of Lochlea continues in every cask we fill and every bottle we release.

Explore our latest stories and stay up to date with news from the distillery.

The land at Lochlea is important and not just to the distinctive taste of our whisky. This was the land that Robert Burns tended when he lived at Lochlea, inspiring his thinking and development as a poet. Burns toiled the same soil that we are privileged to grow our malting barley in today.

We like to think he’d approve.
