House Review
-
Intro:
Distilled at Loch Lomond, this bottling of spirits under the Croftengea designation by SMWS is matured for 15 years in a second fill ex-sherry cask and bottled, without coloring or filtering, at cask strength. Let's dive in.
-
Nose:
Tar, fresh fruit. Syrupy, mossy, earthy and pungent.
-
Taste:
Thick, rich, powerful and syrupy. Sweet cream, honey, cinnamon bun, currant and sherry. Stewed fruits galore. Ashy smoke grows, pungent and earthy.
-
Finish:
Long, powerful and ashy. Smoke, minerality, sweet stewed fruits and honey. Black currant for days.
-
Overall:
Great in every sense. I don't normally get such bold flavor from Croftengea, this expression really changed that. Big fan of this one.
