2026 Private Cask
A personal connection to Lochlea
There are moments in whisky when time slows, the doors open a little wider, and you’re invited into the heart of a distillery. Our 2026 Private Cask Programme is one of those moments.
At Lochlea, we dedicate around two weeks of our entire year’s production to private casks. Two weeks where the stillhouse runs for you, not for global allocations, not for future releases, but for the handful of people who will one day draw their own whisky from a cask that began its life on our Ayrshire farm.
For 2026, we are making available a very limited number of casks to those who want to share in this journey.
Available cask types
For 2026, we are pleased to offer a small number of exceptional first-fill casks, sourced directly from trusted suppliers and selected for their long-term maturation potential.
Refill Bourbon
Classic, elegant and honest. A refill cask that lets Lochlea’s spirit shine with purity and finesse.
1st-Fill Bourbon
PX Sherry
Dark fruit, treacle and indulgent warmth. A cask that transforms our spirit into something bold and luxurious.
Calvados
From filling to maturation
Purchasing a private cask at Lochlea is the beginning of a long-term relationship rather than a transaction.
As part of the experience, you’ll join Patrick for a brief but insightful walk around Lochlea Distillery.

What makes our programme so special?
Because we are a Single Estate distillery, our whisky is naturally limited. We grow all our own barley, we distil everything on-site, and we mature every cask here on the farm, all within the same fields, the same soil and the same seasons that shape our spirit from the very beginning.
Owning a Lochlea private cask isn’t simply acquiring whisky. It’s stepping into the rhythm of the farm, the slow patience of maturation, and the quiet magic of watching your own spirit evolve in the very place it was born. It means joining a small, select group of people who hold a piece of Lochlea’s story — casks that are as rare, personal and rooted in this land as the whisky itself.
If you’ve ever wanted to own a piece of Lochlea, not just a bottle, but a living, breathing cask maturing quietly in our warehouses, this is your moment.
Casks will be allocated on a first‑come basis.
