Detailed Description
A single-cask whisky from Loch Lomond distillery, bottled as part of the Old Malt Cask series’s 20th Anniversary range by Hunter Laing. Croftengea is the name that the distillery gives to its most heavily peated spirit, distilled in straight-necked stills. This is an excellent example, balancing punchy peat against fruity spirit.

Nose: Delightful aroma.
Palate: The taste almost is really just a short beginning that crescendos and transitions extremely smoothly into the finish.
Finish: A very long finish.
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.
