Lochlea Sowing Edition 3rd Crop (46% abv)
Original price was: $84.99.$61.99Current price is: $61.99.Add to cartOur limited edition seasonal whiskies have been a great way for us to showcase our spirit style in a variety of different casks to reflect the farming calendar. Our Third Crop will be the last, completing the trilogy.
Sowing Edition embodies springtime on Lochlea Farm when we sow the fields with barley seed. The days start to stretch, the daffodils pop out to say hello, and we begin another year of growing barley for our single malt whisky.
Like the First and Second Crops, Sowing Edition Third Crop has been matured in 100% first-fill Bourbon barrels. We’ve found over the years that our spirit works particularly well in this type of cask, as the apple notes in our new make complement the vanilla flavours typically found in Bourbon barrels.
This whisky opens with flavours of almonds and rose petals on the nose, developing into a vibrant burst of apple blossom underpinned with white pepper and crisp pear on the palate. The finish is gentle, with notes of warm straw and freshly-cut grass.
Sowing Edition (Third Crop) is non-chill filtered with no added colouring.

Made in the distillery’s traditional way, with the slowest distillation in Scotland and no peat used in the process.

Palate: Vanilla and dark chocolate open up the palate. Sherry comes through yet again, but this time in the shape of rich, well spiced fruit cake. Hints of orange and oak round it off.
Finish: The finish lasts with notes of red fruits and cracked black pepper.

Lindores Friar John Cor Chapter Two (60.9% abv)
$102.99Add to cartThe Friar John Cor ‘The Cask Strength Congregation Batch’ – Chapter 2, was matured in a selection of Bourbon, STR & Peated Rum casks. As with all Lindores bottlings it has no added colouring, is non-chill filtered and bottled onsite at the batch cask strength of 60.9%.
The introduction of the peated casks which originally held rum, gives a very exciting point of difference to our unpeated spirit. The end result is just fantastic with a complex Whisky with syrupy fruity sweetness balanced perfectly with deep earthy peated notes that compliment perfectly in this unique Lindores Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
The design of the eye-catching black bottle, mirroring the Exclusive 1494 First Release Bottle, draws on several elements of Lindores Abbey’s history, most obviously the dramatic black colour which is inspired by the black cloth tunics worn by the Lindores monks back in 1494. This unique bottle shape is also in homage to the magnificent stone pillars which would have been found throughout the Abbey, the remains of which can still be found in the ruins today.
This batch was quite possibly our most anticipated release yet, with the Chapter 1 selling out across the UK in just a few days from its release date.
