Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Bottled by: Murray McDavid 70cl / 44.5%
A Croftengea (one of Loch Lomond distillery's peated spirits) bottled by Murray McDavid at an easy-drinking 44.5% in 2022 for their Cask Craft range.
This Murray McDavid Croftengea Cask Craft spent the final period of its maturation in casks that formerly held the sweet Sicilian fortified wine Marsala, which provides a layer of cooked dried fruit to the expected Croftengea smokiness, and like the rest of the Murray McDavid Cask Craft series it's extremely reasonably-priced, so peat fans should grab it while they can.

Tasting Notes
Official Tasting Notes
The gently peated malt and the Italian wine cask combine to create sumptuous flavours of sweet hickory, honied cereal and bbq tropical fruits. A fine dance between oak and spirit leaves a long moreish finish with elegant, sweet smoke.
