In 2023, Lochlea celebrated their 5th birthday by collaborating with Overtone Brewing Co - a Glasgow-based brewery who were on the hunt for whisky casks.

Lochlea’s Production Team hand selected 6 casks (3 bourbon barrels, 2 STR barriques and 1 Oloroso Sherry butt), which were delivered to Overtone and used to mature their first double mash stout in. The result was ‘Overtone: Our Barley Aged’ - a rich, chocolatey stout matured in the exact cask make up we use to create our core single malt whisky, Our Barley.

However, the collaboration didn’t end there. Lochlea’s Trade Sales Manager, Emma, explains:

“Once they were returned from Overtone, our production team filled each stout seasoned cask with ‘Our Barley’ for a year. Our distillery team have chosen three casks out of the six; the result is a delicious Stout Cask Finish that we are really proud of.”

This is a UK-exclusive release, bottled at 52% ABV. It is deliciously buttery and sweet, with flavours of shortbread, toasted barley, toffee and tropical fruit on the palate. The finish is long and silky, packed with more fruit and cereal notes.
