The Spirit Specialist reviews Lochlea Ploughing Edition Single Malt Whisky
For a complete whiskey beginner like me, you review this so well. The history helped me understand it way better
Glad it was helpful!
I don't know if you even researched it, but Globefill Inc is founded and owned by Dan Akroyd as well
That is the wildest pronounciation of orgeat ive ever heard
Second fill Thiron oak would make more sense than virgin oak in my opinion.
I just picked up this whisky for 13USD and for what it is... its not that bad. I would say its a very light and easy drinking whiskey that I would say lends itself best to being drank neat, on the rocks or in a whiskey forward classic cocktail. I would say for the price this is redeeming Canadian whisky slightly. I would love to see a version of this around 20 dollars that is a slightly higher proof around 90-100 proof but probably no more than 100 proof. Nose - Light honeyed vanilla, light nose Palate - Spicy cinnamon oak influence, somewhat berry floral. Overall for me lacking in complexity Finish - Tannins, Spiced Oak, light fruit with a lingering light sweetness. Again nothing offensive about this whisky, easy drinking almost water like so I would say a good introductory whisky.
Double that price in the UK.
Infact, just saw in the supermarket, it's more than triple that price. Definitely sounds overpriced.
@@meme4one I wouldn't pay over 20USD for the bottle. For 25USD I can get a Buffalo Trace or for 16USD I can get an Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. For 24USD I can get a Early Times Bottled in Bond. All of these options blow this bottle out of the water. So yeah I think its nice to see what a Canadian Whisky can be if some honest effort is put in.
Managed to bag a bottle of this on a deal for 16 quid, I’m looking forward to trying to make a pbj shot with it
Informative video , thank you .
I have btach nr2 bittle 123 and i wonder if its worth yo have thus one fir collection.
I loved my first bottle so bought another 2 , not really sure about the second bottle it’s nothing like I remember, going to leave it a while on the shelf to see if it calms down
Great idea @Ben
Must say glen Scotia have some cracking whiskies 🥃😁
I love Longrow and Springbank.
Does anyone know where the 3 new distilleries are going to get their water from?
Thanks Ben for the informative video . Great stuff. Cheers
You won’t get all that until it opens up after 2 weeks at least as the char wood overpowers the bourbon
if you had to chose only one, would you go for Lindores Abbey Casks of Lindores Oloroso Sheery or the Lochlea Fallow Edition - 2nd Crop?
I look forward to reading her book Love and Whiskey and trying her product! signed, historian.
I understand that while DiSaronno has added caramel color, Tosolini Solitza does not. Correct?
I've grabbed the Amarone version. Wish i had a miniature to try...
Ooh, I never saw this one.
I really want to try this. Thanks for the review
Can someone explain PX Sherry? I know Sherry but not "PX".
Short for 'Pedro Ximenez', a type of grape known for producing dark, rich, unctuous sweet Sherry wine - although on rare occasions you can find a dry Sherry using that grape!
I have a 750ml bottle. Well, I think it's fine.
OK, you got me! Fingers crossed for the ballot...
You're right, Ben. When ex-Bourbon oak hits that six-row barley Indian malt spirit then much tropicality ensues. I've loved it in Amruts, Paul Johns, and in the Indri Trini. I'm yet to try the Dru. The only one I had trouble with was the Rampur ‘Select’. Just a bit too much mango skin and this really sets in as an aftertaste.
any one tried it? is it better than grey goose Vodka?
Thank you for this!!! Uncle neared is a legend!!!
Sounds like Lochlea has an amazing distillery culture!
I must try this one
Can you review the kraken?
Great information and review my friend.
Excellent whisky 🥃… well done Spirit of Yorkshire…👍 Filey Bay! 👍
Peanut butter whiskey mixed with pineapple juice has a butterfinger candy bar flavor 😋
A great video Ben.I agree, another great finish from Filey Bay
Damn I would have loved a bottle, my grandad flew from airfields in Lincolnshire Inc this one
Not sure how sweet that is but Skrewball is pretty sweet. I also like it better chilled but have to cut it with a half shot of regular whiskey. Never heard of Sheep Dog but we found have a line of flavored whiskeys called Bird Dog. Crown Royal Blackberry with lemonade is all the rage right now. Very refreshingly dangerous summer drink. Can hardly taste the alcohol.
My mother loved DiSaronno and I enjoyed it with her. She passed in 2018 and I hadn't had any since. Recently, I bought a half pint because I'm not really a drinker. I was so looking forward to a shot. I was very disappointed! It was NOT the same. It had gotten cheaper over the years and I'll never buy it again. I am going to try the Tosolini Solitza if I can find it here in the states.
Good review! I like this whiskey a lot!
Hello my friends.
Please do not forget Lynchburg is less than an hour’s drive from the birthplace of the Klan. Just a couple counties over in Pulaski, TN. Yes, Nathan Green and Jack developed a relationship that endures today AT THE SAME EXACT TIME and PLACE in our Nation’s history that birthed some of the finest whiskey in the world and one of the most evil organizations ever. There is picture at the distillery of George Green, one of Nearest’s sons, seated to Jack’s right. That would been unheard of in that era. There has not been a time that Green’s descendants have not worked at the distillery to this day. We all have choices. Choose wisely. Just a thought from the old, white southern guy from Tennessee. Treat your fellow members of the human race right. They might be compelled to reciprocate.
i can see paul john
Took a chance on this brand and on this bottle and I'm quite pleased.
The bottle is beautiful. The whisky is awful. Too sweet and lacks character. The oak is there but overpowered by everything else going on. Great marketing though, I’ll give them that!
Sounds intriguing… I shall look out for it. Thanks Ben and Happy New Year. Ciao 👋 S.
Received a bottle of the inagural release for Xmas. Wow -What a dram!....If only I could pronounce it correctly, I am getting worse as the morning goes on!
He's drunk he said kyiv it's Kiev
Rly? How much u got for this kinda comment ? 30 rubles?
Here because of Nas and AZ 😂
Racism is always the Black innovators are left out of profit and history. They deliberately do it 😢
Hi Ben, Thanks for the review. Need to check my sample of the 1 edition tonight. Maybe I will put the 2 edition on my christmas list. Cheers from Germany
3:21 you sure you haven't had a few?😂
