Суммаризация отзывов
Lochlea Fallow Edition — молодой виски с заметным влиянием шери и не всегда сбалансированным характером; отзывы расходятся от «приятного» до «слишком молодого и горького».
развернуть подробно
В отзывах часто отмечают молодость напитка и сильное влияние бочки. Нос описывают как сладкий и фруктовый — тёмные ягоды, шери, варенье, чернослив, шоколад, карамель, иногда с молочными, серными или «фермными» нотами. Вкус нередко называют простым, водянистым или несбалансированным: встречаются жалобы на резкость молодого спирта, древесную горечь и конфликт между шери и дистиллятом. При этом часть отзывов хвалит насыщенность, округлость, специи и десертные тона — джем, тёмный шоколад, лакрицу.
Финиш в основном средний, с угасающей сладостью, но у некоторых он удивляюще длинный и горьковато-древесный; отдельно упоминается неприятная горькая или слегка металлическая нота в послевкусии. Общий тон: интересный, но неровный виски, которому, по мнению ряда комментаторов, нужно ещё время в бочке.

Lochlea Fallow First Crop LSMSW 46%. 30ml sample consumed Jan 2023. Very dark orange brown. Aroma is milky. Young spirit and active cask. Pink mice sweets. Some browned apple core. Body is watery plus. Not really oily as such. Taste is light and easy, surprisingly nothingy on the palate. It’s like the cask and the spirit have cancelled each other out leaving only wateriness. Mild white pepper spice builds on the finish. It’s fine 3.225/77
Again, I have another closed series, this time 4 samples. Rated based on my favorite variant 2x blind and 1x after reveal. Based on the smell, I blindly guessed either ex-sherry or wine cask. After tasting, rather the wine. Anyway, there's too much barrel influence for my taste. Very fruity and quite simple in its own way. I do not enjoy. A prototype whisky that doesn't tell me anything at all...

Thanks to karloff for providing this. I'm as much a novice on this new distillery as him.

| Нос | 86 | Sweet red and black berries and fruits. Nestle black ice tea. Obvious oloroso influence without taking it to the bomb level. |
| Вкус | 88 | From a promising nose I liked this from the first sip. Rich and round. Enough spice to tingle but not overpower. In that way it's just right, I wouldn't add water to this. Dark fruits sherry, more so than implied by the nose. |
| Финиш | 85 | About medium length with fading sweetness. I enjoyed it all the way to the very end where it left me with a slight astringent somewhat metallic feeling I could have done without. |

A noticeably young whisky that was quickly charged with cask aromas - unfortunately unbalanced and not my cup of tea. There are certainly other young distilleries that are already further along.

| Нос | 81 | Fermented dark fruits and light sulfur notes, autumnal forest floor. |
| Вкус | 83 | Clear youthful sharpness despite only 46%. This cannot be tamed even with water. Tendencies towards woody bitterness and hardly any sweet fruit components. |
| Финиш | 82 | The astonishingly long finish is also dominated by notes of wood and bitter aromas. After a while, however, there are still some fruity notes. |

A nice whisky but with an annoying bitter taste in the aftertaste. Otherwise 84. Now I have to give 83 points.
Fallow by name and by nature. Needs a couple more years in the cask to give it a chance to be itself.

| Нос | 80 | A kitten's mewl - useful in a game of Scrabble, but not so much when nosing a dram - some sherry, a kitten's breath after it's suckled - milk, fur. |
| Вкус | 79 | Meh - slightly anonymous. A hint of sherry, but no obvious DNA. |
| Финиш | 78 | Was pleased that it did. |
Good but not very balanced, I suspect it is largely made up of quite young whisky, I had high hopes for the aroma but the taste and aftertaste were not on the same level

Young sweetness on the nose. After that it becomes fruitier, not so artificial. 71-80 – Fine, like to drink by time

Copper/gold. Nose: Dark fruit, sherry cask, sweetness, caramel. Taste: Dark fruit, sherry cask, sweetness, caramel, dark chocolate. HWS tasting #13.
This is my first Lochlea and I am quite impressed with what they are trying to achieve. If they stick to the plan I am sure their future is bright in the new distillery race. I have to try some of their other bottlings as they are reasonably priced.

| Нос | 88 | Looking at this whisky in the glass it is very dark so it's Looking like a bomb. Like this straight away, black herbal fruit tea. Thick raspberry jam on thick sliced grain brown bread. Ribena blackcurrant juice. Tinned prune juice is an absolute cert. You can almost taste it as you are nosing it. |
| Вкус | 89 | Yes it's young and I absolutely don't mind that but what can you do with it? It's non chill filtered and natural colour which is a good start. 46% another good addition. As for the taste I think this will split the audience. Personally I like it because it has the balls to give it a go. Some lovely sherry notes with just the right amount of spice. Some liquorice all sorts thrown in for good measure. |
| Финиш | 88 | The finish even though it is shortish it is trying it's best to impress but it's naivety shows so I can't punish to much and then all of a sudden it comes back at you. |
Working in Ayrshire for 5 years or so gave me an emotional predisposition to this dram. I've just finished the Fallow Edition and enjoyed it. I do like a sherry dram and whilst the youth on this was clear it was a good experience. I'll be watching out for this coming of age.

Interesting but very unbalanced. Black tea, figs, heavy sweetness and overripe fruit.

The sherry and farmy notes of the distillate seem to be in conflict with one another. The combination feels forced and as a result, the flavor profile is somewhat off putting.
