- Croftengea's 2009 release, aged 16 years and bottled at 51.7%, balances bold peat smoke with fruit-forward character uncommon in peated Highland whisky. Loch Lomond's output is limited, making this bottling from The Whisky Exchange a rare find with intense maritime peat and subtle stone fruit complexity. A distinctive choice for peat enthusiasts seeking something beyond standard Islay profiles.
