Batch 5, 11 Year Old - One of the elusive single malts produced at the versatile Loch Lomond distillery. Our Croftengea, from 2007, has been matured in the industry standard, a refill ex-Bourbon hogshead, so this is all about the distillate: briny, salty and smoky.
A delicious-y bottling from Loch Lomond Distillery, the only distillery in Scotland to produce both malt and grain whisky on the same site! Now that’s what we call multi-tasking.
Tasting notes
Nose
Sea shells, brine, oysters, and a hint of green olives. There’s a green malt sweetness, grist, and fresh sawn oak.
Palate
Sweet yet spicy with a lick of maritime and dusky peat. Sea salt, oysters and driftwood. Oak spices, amd a lingering peppery finish.

A smoky, peated, ex-bourbon cask, single malt from mainland Australia’s oldest whisky distillery. Founded in 1999, Bakery Hill Distillery is run by ex-High School chemistry teacher David and his son Andrew. Family run, small batch, with a focus on quality over quantity. It was established to prove a point - that great single malt whiskies could be made outside of Scotland, and specifically in Australia. Bakery Hill buck the trend of many wine-cask driven Australian whiskies, favouring predominantly ex-bourbon barrels.
These allow for a longer maturation, without the spirit becoming overwhelmed by the hot temperatures and cask influence.
