Croftengea 2006 Cask #22832 (Alambic Classique)

Alambic Classique, a German independent, bottles this Croftengea in its Special Vintage Selection. A heavily peated Loch Lomond malt, a 16 year old from 2006, cask 22832.

Sixteen years in ex-Bourbon soften the peat, the cask's vanilla softening the peat beneath.

At 47.8% it shows chocolate, citrus, a fragrant note, an oily texture and vanilla over the wood smoke, guaiacol and cresols carrying the smoke. A peated Croftengea.
