Lochlea Smoke Without Fire is a beautifully balanced single malt that showcases a more refined and subtle approach to peat influence. Inspired by the much-loved Ploughing Edition, this permanent addition to Lochlea's core range captures the essence of smoke without allowing it to dominate the spirit's naturally elegant character.
 
Produced entirely at Lochlea Distillery, using barley grown on the distillery's own farm, Smoke Without Fire is matured in a carefully selected combination of ex-peated refill Bourbon barrels and red wine casks. The result is a whisky that weaves together delicate smoke, vibrant fruit and floral complexity.
 
The nose opens with aromas of sweet red berries, cherry blossom, fresh flowers and lemon peel, all underpinned by a gentle veil of smoke. The palate develops with notes of salty sea smoke, fresh oak, bonfire char and delicate citrus, complemented by soft orchard fruits and a touch of sherbet sweetness. The finish remains elegant and refined, offering lingering blossom notes, subtle char and fresh phenolic character.
 
Bottled at 46% ABV, with natural colour and non-chill filtration, this is an ideal whisky for those looking to explore smoky Scotch without the intensity of heavily peated styles.
