The second single malt in Lochlea's annual series of seasonal releases, Harvest Edition First Crop draws inspiration from the end of summer, when the barley crops are ready for harvest and to start their journey to become whisky. Matured in a combination of ex-Port, ex-oloroso sherry and ex-bourbon casks, First Crop offers aromas of stewed apples, pear drops and oat biscuits that fill the nose, complimented by notes of ripe strawberries, violets, toasted marshmallows, freshly-cut grass and sweet cereals throughout the palate.
