Description
This special edition whisky is non-chill filtered with no added colour, preserving its natural character.
Bottled at 52% ABV. The flavour profile is rich and layered, with a nose of sweet stout beer, light
smoke, and oak. The palate delivers creamy vanilla, cinder toffee, and BBQ smoke, while the finish
lingers with warming spice, green oak, rye bread, and cereal notes.
Produced by Lochlea Distillery, an independent, family-run operation in Ayrshire, Scotland, this
whisky reflects their commitment to local ingredients, sustainable practices, and full on-site
maturation. The distillery’s collaboration with Overtone Brewery, a Glasgow-based craft brewer,
began with shared casks used to mature stout before being returned to Lochlea for whisky finishing.
This second and final Overtone release comprises just five casks in total: three stout-seasoned
(two Bourbon barrels, one STR barrique), one first fill Bourbon barrel, and one ex-peated Bourbon
barrel. The result is a whisky that deepens the stout’s earthy, chocolatey character while
enhancing sweet vanilla and gentle smoke. Carefully married to harmonise the flavours,
this release offers a familiar yet distinctive profile.
Lochlea invites whisky lovers to enjoy this final chapter in the Overtone collaboration, crafted
with passion and precision. 1,500 bottles, UK only
