The Croftengea 2006 ElD 53.2% 700ml is a distinctive whisky from the renowned Loch Lomond Distillery, bottled by Elixir Distillers. This 15-year-old Highland single malt, distilled in 2006 and bottled in 2021, is a limited release with only 269 bottles available. It boasts a juicy, syrupy peat smoke profile that is both unique and captivating. The smokiness is richly layered with notes of tar, iodine, and camphor, offering a complex tasting experience. While it may lack some of the fruitier components found in other expressions, this whisky's character transforms beautifully with the addition of water, revealing intriguing salty and umami qualities reminiscent of Asian flavors such as nori, pickled ginger, and fish sauce.
The palate is equally engaging, presenting a long-lasting deep smokiness, warm kiln air, and a hint of meaty bacon, complemented by medicinal and iodine undertones. When diluted, the whisky becomes drier, sootier, and more farmy, with fascinating notes of carbolic acidity, fermenting wash, and sheep wool.
Overall, the Croftengea 2006 ElD is a complex and intriguing whisky with a distinctive peat smoke profile and a range of evolving flavors, making it a truly remarkable Highland single malt.
