Adelphi Lochlea 2018 7yo 57.9% 700ml

• Single-cask Lowland whisky distilled at Lochlea in 2018 and independently bottled by Adelphi in 2026.

• Seven years in first-fill bourbon barrel #113, bottled at 57.9% ABV.

• Lemon zest and pear pastry lead into grapefruit, coconut biscuit and vanilla custard.

This Adelphi Selection release captures Lochlea’s Lowland single malt after seven years in a single first-fill bourbon barrel. Lemon zest and pear pastry open the nose, with notes of meringue, pecan and shaved almond underneath.

Lime and white grapefruit bring a tart edge to the palate, balanced by soft nougat, coconut biscuit and vanilla custard. The finish is gently drying, with honeyed oats and a lingering biscuit note. Try it neat first, then add a few drops of water to see how the citrus and vanilla develop in the glass.
