The Lochlea RED WINE CASK Single Estate Single Malt Scotch Whisky Release 2025 46% ABV 0.7 l + GB is a limited-edition, full-flavoured bottling from the independent Lochlea Distillery in the Scottish Lowlands. The distillery is a true ‘farm-to-bottle’ operation, carrying out every stage of production – from barley cultivation through distillation to bottling – directly on its own estate. This consistent ‘single estate’ principle gives each whisky a distinctive character and a deep connection to the land on which it is produced.

For the Red Wine Cask Release 2025, the whisky was initially matured in classic oak casks and then finished in fine Grenache red wine casks. These expressive casks lend the whisky an intense aroma with notes of ripe red fruits, dark cherries and subtle spices, whilst also imparting a warm, reddish-golden colour and an elegant, velvety texture. The Grenache casks add an extra layer of depth that blends harmoniously with the natural malt notes and the delicate honeyed sweetness characteristic of the Lochlea style.

Bottled at 46 per cent by volume, non-chill-filtered and in its natural colour, this single malt presents itself in its most authentic form – powerful, balanced and full of character. The interplay between the red wine cask finish and regional barley makes it an impressive example of modern Lowland whisky-making.
