There are a couple of things that get us jointly excited when it comes to drinks releases.

Little knowledge nugget for you. Glassmates consists of 2 Caribbeans and a West African, and in all of our cultures, malt and stout are big parts and are revered. As you probably already know, all 3 of us really love Whisky. So when these two things combine, there is excitement!

Lochlea is one of our favourite distilleries and they consistently push boundaries while carefully putting out amazing releases.

So let's talk about this bottling

Lochlea Stout Cask Finish started life the same as Lochlea’s signature whisky 'Our Barley', matured in a combination of ex-bourbon, STR and oloroso sherry casks. The spirit was then placed in casks that had previously been loaned to Overtone Brewery to age their stout in a for a few months. The casks, originally from Lochlea before going to Overton, were delivered back to the distillery and deliciously seasoned with the brewery’s distinctive rich stout beer.

At 52% ABV this may be the highest proof in its style. We've seen others come in at around 43% ABV and really manage to marry the chocolate and cream of stout with the spirit.

The nose on this release is said to be all butter shortbread, layers of tropical fruit and macadamia nuts.

The palate has sweet toffee notes and toasted barley

And a long finish, silky with moreish fruit, cereal and sweet flavours.

This is a limited release for the UK only that will be available through specialist stockists from December 3rd.

We can't wait!
