Loch Lomond

Croftengea 2003/2007 Sherry Butt

by Oliver Klimek on March 18, 2010

The peated Loch Lomond single cask – 45%

My Tasting Notes:

Color: Gold
Nose: Farmyard on a foggy day, smoke, hints of lemon, raisins and chocolate
Palate: Peat, citrus fruit, cocoa, dried fruit, a bit of honey
Finish: Long, peaty fruit
Overall: Remarkably smooth and yet very complex for a 4 yo. The unusual taste takes a while getting used to but is not unpleasant. Interestingly strange.

Score: 82/100 – Price Tag $$$$$ – Value for your Money $$$$$

Loch Lomond 21 yo

by Oliver Klimek on August 3, 2009

The top whisky of the bottom-shelf distillery – 43%

My Tasting Notes

Nose: Fruity whit just a tiny hint of smoke
Palate: Peach is predominant, slightly spicy oak notes
Finsh: Medium long, dry and fruity.
Overall: For a long time this was the cheapest 21 yo on the market, now replaced by an 18 yo. In comparison to the standard bottling, this is a drinkable whisky, but that’s about all you can say about it.

Score: 72/100 – Price Tag $$$$$ – Value for your Money $$$$$
