Croftengea – 2005 19 Year Old Infrequent Flyers Moscatel Cask Finish

This is a 19 year old Croftengea, a peated malt distilled on 23 February 2005 and bottled in November 2024 by Infrequent Flyers. It was finished in a Moscatel cask, and 269 bottles were filled. It is Batch 17, Release No. 156. On the nose there is marzipan and cream with soft iodine and sweet peat. The palate brings orchard fruit, including apple strudel with raisins and dried apricots, along with cinnamon and a touch of crushed black pepper. The peat and vegetal notes sit in the background, rounded by the long maturation.
