Origin
Croftengea is the name of a peated whisky from the Loch Lomond Distillery.
Loch Lomond is a distillery in the town of Alexandria at the southern tip of the lake of the same name in the Scottish Midlands.
The distillery was founded by the American Littlemill Distillery Company in 1966. Closed in 1984, it became the property of the Bulloch family in 1985, who have been active in the spirits business since 1842. It reopened in 1987. A Coffey still was added in 1993. The Loch Lomond Distillery Co. is now the only company in Scotland that produces both malt and grain whisky in one distillery and can therefore offer a single blend.
Loch Lomond has 2 traditional pot stills, six Lomond stills, also pot stills, but with floors in the neck, similar to the Coffey stills. In addition, a Coffey still was added in 1993 for malt whisky production, which allows continuous production of whisky, in contrast to the batch process of the pot stills. These are otherwise only used in the grain whisky sector.
Thanks to its diverse technical equipment, the distillery produces single malt whisky under various names with different characters: in addition to Croftengea, these are Loch Lomond, Craiglodge, Glen Douglas, Inchfad, Inchmoan, Inchmurrin, Inchfad and Old Rhosdhu.
