Our Spirit Style
The fruit, biscuit and nutty characteristics shine through in Lochlea new make for a number of reasons. These include raking our mash tun after the third water to create a semi-cloudy wort going into the wash backs, and utilising two different fermentation times (66-116 hours) to get the right balance and depth in the final spirit.
The stills are then run slowly to promote copper contact, and we source the finest casks from all over the world to mature our precious whisky.
Production Statistics
We produce approximately 180,000 LPA using a 2 tonne semi lauter mash tun, 6 Douglas Fir wooden washbacks and 2 bespoke stills.
We fill all casks on-site, approximately 30 per week, and they are stored in our 3 bonded warehouses.
