Croftengea Smoky & Fruity Port & Madeira Finish - Cask Craft (Murray McDavid)
The Cask Craft series from independent bottler Murray McDavid explores the influence of different cask finishes, and how they can enhance the profile of a whisky. This peated Croftengea single malt from the Loch Lomond distillery was treated to a double finish, spending time in both Port and Madeira casks, imparting sweet notes of toasted nuts and tropical fruits to the hearty smoke at its core.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Charred oak and vibrant peat, with grilled pineapples, stewed red fruits, and smoked hickory.
Palate
Nut brittle and more grilled tropical fruit support sweet barbecue smoke, while creamy barley and honeyed stone fruits nestle beneath.
Finish
Aromatic smoke lingers, with toasted spice, and chocolate nuts in the distance.
