Croftengea 2005 14 Year Old Infrequent Flyers Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes
Nose: Full-bodied aroma.
Palate: There is a much greater presence of peat in the taste than the nose suggests. The smokiness quickly hits the palate and then tapers off.
Finish: The finish is surprisingly long and warming.
Distillery Information
Loch Lomond Distillery was commissioned by the Littlemill Distilling Company in 1964 with first distillation in 1966. In 1984, the distillery closed – or fell silent, to use the traditional term. Happily though, Alexander Bulloch and the Glen Catrine company acquired the business and resumed malt production in 1987. Grain whisky production began in 1993 and two new malt stills were added in 1999.
