Now unveiling the latest in the Lochlea core range of single malts, a series centred around their key values of quality, provenance, and character. Proud of their provenance, each of the expressions in this collection use Lochlea’s own barley and are distilled and matured entirely on-site in the heart of Ayrshire, Scotland.

The Orchard & Oak release, bottled at 46% abv, was matured in a combination of first-fill Bourbon, Virgin American Oak, and Calvados casks, giving it a bright, fruit-forward profile. On the nose, expect sweet apple notes, earthy, fresh cut grass and lightly floral notes. On the palate, you’ll taste a contiunation of the fresh apple fruitiness, this time undercut with buttery caramel and oaky spice. Rounding off this refreshing experience is light cereal, sweet oak, and more caramel. 

Lochlea’s new Single Estate core range of single malts — a permanent collection that reflects their commitment to quality, provenance, and character.

Smoke Without Fire is a delicate expression that brings subtlety to the Lochlea core range. Evolving from the distillery’s Ploughing Edition, it is matured in ex-peated refill Bourbon barrels and red wine casks. Bottled at 46% ABV, natural in colour and non-chill filtered, Smoke Without Fire is a refined exploration of peat’s softer side.

On the nose, floral sweetness and red berries are lifted by hints of lemon peel and soft bonfire smoke, while the palate balances sea spray, oak char, delicate citrus and gentle sherbet notes. The finish is elegant, with light blossom, soft smoke and a touch of fresh phenols, never overwhelming the natural spirit.
