Lochlea Sowing Edition / Second Crop Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky – Seasonal Character at an Exceptional Value

Discover a distinctive Lowland single malt with a clear sense of place and a price that makes it easy to enjoy. Lochlea Sowing Edition / Second Crop Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a seasonal small-batch release from Lochlea, a Scottish farm distillery that follows the rhythm of the agricultural year. Bottled at 46% ABV and presented in a generous 70cl bottle, this distillery bottling offers a refined whisky experience without the need for an extravagant budget.

Known as Second Crop, this is the second release in the Sowing Edition series. It celebrates the next stage in Lochlea’s seasonal story, bringing together carefully made spirit and a focused maturation style. The whisky has been aged exclusively in first-fill ex-bourbon casks, allowing the character of the spirit to shine while adding layers of sweet fruit, creamy vanilla and gentle spice.

Fresh, Fruity Flavour with a Clean Scottish Finish

The first impression is inviting and bright. Aromas of ripe apples and pears create a fruity, naturally sweet opening, making this whisky approachable for both curious newcomers and experienced Scotch drinkers. There is a fresh quality that keeps the nose lively, while the Lowland spirit adds a smooth and easy-drinking feel.

On the palate, the fruit develops into soft notes of vanilla pods and almond oil. The vanilla brings a touch of dessert-like richness, while the almond note adds a subtle, silky texture. These flavours work together without becoming heavy, giving the whisky a balanced profile that is enjoyable neat, with a few drops of water, or alongside a relaxed evening drink.

The finish is crisp and refreshing, leaving behind a delicate hint of pine. This clean ending gives the whisky added lift and makes it especially appealing when a rich, sweet dram feels too much. Every sip offers a pleasing combination of freshness, gentle sweetness and understated depth.
