This dram is part of Lochlea's new Single Estate core range of single malts — a permanent collection that reflects their commitment to quality, provenance, and character. Each expression is crafted from their own barley, distilled and matured entirely on-site in the heart of Ayrshire, Scotland. This new range builds on the success of their seasonal releases, offering whisky lovers a consistent and characterful experience all year round. Their core range is designed to showcase the versatility of their spirit and the influence of their carefully selected casks.

Dark Briar is a bold and indulgent addition to Lochlea’s new core range. Inspired by their Fallow Edition, this rich single malt is matured in a combination of Pedro Ximénez, Oloroso sherry butts, and Port casks, delivering layers of juicy red fruits, ginger cake, and velvety
baking spice.

Nose: Rich and sweet, red fruit, pic’n’mix sweets, with a touch of vanilla caramel, and fresh baking spices.

Palate: Big, bold and juicy, with lots of cherries and sweet, sticky plums, warming tannins and ginger cake.

Finish: Long and rich, with velvety tannins, and baking spice.
