Croftengea 12-year-old (D.2007, B.2019) Jack Wiebers Great Ocean Liners / 52.1%/ 0.7l

Croftengea is one of several single malt whiskies produced by the Loch Lomond Distillery.

It debuted in 2004, it is not listed in the current Loch Lomond sales offer and we do not know anything about plans to renew official editions. Jack Wiebers (Lars-Göran Wiebers) is a German whisky importer and distributor based in Berlin, operating since 1999, whose editions are gaining increasing recognition among connoisseurs. The Croftengea 2007 presented here spent 12 years in bourbon barrel no. 21965, and was bottled for the Radebeul Whisky Festival in the Great Ocean Lines series. The whisky was offered at cask strength (52.1% abv), and the edition consisted of 150 bottles.
