- Description
- Croftengea's 2009 vintage, matured 14 years in refill hogshead and bottled by Wemyss Malts, delivers bold smoke tempered by orchard fruits and white pepper. Loch Lomond's peaty character shines through charred herbs and peat smoke balanced against sweetness and spice. The 46% ABV sits comfortably between cask and spirit influence, creating a robust yet nuanced Highland whisky. This suits whisky drinkers who embrace smoke but appreciate fruit complexity.
