Croftengea is the heavily peated malt spirit used as a blending component by Loch Lomond distillery, but also released briefly as a single cask single malt.
This single cask release of Croftengea showcases the smoky spirit of this Highland distillery. It has the smoky, herbal, and peppery note of a heavily peated malt spirit, balanced out by rich undertones of orchard fruit flavours that Loch Lomond is famous for. Croftengea’s distilled using a pair of stills salvaged from the now closed Littlemill distillery. The juxtaposition of heavy peat and delicate fruit notes make this a very unique and wonderful whisky.
The vintage 2009 single malt Scotch whisky was aged for 14 years in a single hogshead cask and filled just 322 bottles.
Tasting notes
NOSE: A bold introduction of grassy smoke and charred herbs, ignited by a spark of white pepper, with subtle notes of orchard fruit that flicker beneath the surface.
PALATE: A fiery dance of earthy smoke and peppery spice, tempered by the gentle sweetness of orchard (peach and apricots) fruit. The interplay of these elements creates a robust and intense taste experience that lingers on the tongue.
FINISH: Long and warming, with the smoky and spicy notes gradually smouldering into a lasting sweetness, leaving a memorable echo of fire and flavour.
