Comments:

Croftengea, peated Loch Lomond, a rare pleasure that I discovered too late. There's a lot going on in this particular one - sweet, savoury and something tangy in the nose, lovely meaty notes i the taste. Then turns bitter and smoky. Very unusual, and very tasty.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
