    The Lochlea Distillery (pronounced 'Lock-lee') is a conversion of the farm buildings at Lochlea Farm, situated 8 miles South of Kilmarnock, and at which the world famous Scottish writer and poet Robert Burns lived and worked from 1777 to 1784.

    Plans for a distillery by the current owner Neil McGeoch were approved in 2014 and whisky production commenced in August 2018.

    Malcolm Rennie, who had previously been distillery manager at the likes of Bruichladdich, Ardbeg, Kilchoman and Annandale, initially worked with Neil as a consultant before coming on board full-time to oversee the birth of the whisky – however he then left to join the rebirth of the Rosebank Distillery in October 2021, and was replaced by John Campbell, who had previously been the distillery manager at Laphroaig for 16 years.

    The distillery is another new whisky venture who are producing a grain-to-glass spirit – they grown their own barley in fields literally over the road, and have their own water source. The bottle itself features embossing referencing the tyre tracks that surround the farm.

    This is the first release at cask strength with an ABV of 60.1% with maturation taking place in both first-fill Bourbon and Oloroso Sherry barrels.
