    One to watch!

    Lochlea 5 year old is an excellent dram with flavour way beyond its age. The longer fermentations used by Lochlea have added depth and fruity, tropical flavour. A wonderful balance of casks with the sherry not too overpowering and the bourbon, vanilla flavours still coming through. Fruit forward and sweet with red berries. Cereal notes of toasted oats. A lusciously thick palate. Syrupy. Vanilla on the palate, woody spices. Manuka honey in the finish
