Lochlea Our Barley

First Fill tasting

Notes of white wine/pear

Barley adds very unique component beyond traditional "sherry casks" wheelhouse, will have to keep an eye for this on shelves.

Color: Light gold. Nose: Fresh-cut grass and a little delicate vanilla. Faint sherry notes and a grainy sweetness. Palate: Yellow pears, honey, green apple, and buttered scones. Finish: Herbal and juicy with orchard fruit and blackberries. Diluted: Sweet cinnamon bun on the nose, and more apple (but soft, mushy Golden Delicious) on the palate. Finish is gossamer brown sugar and a sprinkle of nutmeg.

Honey, oak, sweet

Sweet, pear the major dominant flavor with good rich body. A little light for me but still pleasant flavors.
