One of the benefits of Lochlea’s position as an independent distillery is their ability to experiment and collaborate with other like-minded brands.

Overtone, one of Glasgow’s best craft breweries, was on the hunt for whisky casks to mature their first-ever double mash stout so Lochlea gifted the brewery with the cask makeup of their core expression, Our Barley: three bourbon barrels, two STR barriques, and one Oloroso sherry butt.

Overtone brewery matured their double mash stout in these casks for six months, after which they were returned to Lochlea and the stout-seasoned casks were filled with Lochlea Our Barley for one year. From these six casks, three casks were selected to be married together, resulting in Lochlea's first-ever ‘Stout Cask Finish’.

Nose: Rich with hints of all butter shortbread, tropical fruit and macadamia nuts.
Palate: Sweet toffee notes and a delicious toasted barley.
Finish: Long moreish fruit and cereal flavour.
