Description

Alistair Walker, of the family long associated with BenRiach and GlenDronach, bottles this Croftengea in his Infrequent Flyers range. A heavily peated Loch Lomond malt, a 16 year old from 2005 in Oloroso, cask 6353.

Sixteen years in Oloroso lend dried fruit over the peat, the cask's melanoidins giving fig and raisin against the smoke.

At 56.4% it shows cooked fruit, a cooked-vegetable note, chocolate, honey and a mossy, sweaty edge over the wood smoke, the peat phenols carrying the reek. A sherried peated Croftengea.
