The alternative peat of Loch Lomond

Croftengea refers to peated spirits produced at the Loch Lomond distillery, known for its unique ability to offer a wide variety of styles thanks to its unconventional stills. Unlike classic island styles, Croftengea peat is distinguished by a drier, sometimes austere expression, but always nuanced by a characteristic fruity undertone.

This 2007 vintage, bottled by The Whisky Jury, highlights this duality between smoke and fruit. True to its philosophy, the bottler delivers a clear and unadorned expression, where the peat never masks the distillate's structure, but rather engages in a dialogue with it.
