About Loch Lomond (Croftengea)

Croftengea is the smoky outlier among the many spirits Loch Lomond draws from its single site at Alexandria. The same rectifier-necked stills that give Inchmurrin its brightness are here charged with heavily peated malt, and the result is dense, earthy and phenolic, a rarity this far south and this far from the islands. Founded in 1964, the distillery makes more styles than most make expressions. Loch Lomond Group's.
