Description
Inchgower sits on the Moray Firth coast outside Buckie, a Speyside distillery in name whose malt is salty and savoury in a way the region's usually are not. Anam na h-Alba selected this single cask, distilled in 2008, and released it at 10 years old in its Anam na h-Alba and Friends range. Single cask 11507 gave 289 bottles, released for Germany.
A quick mashing regime and a warmer second water give Inchgower the savoury, saline character that earns it the Manzanilla of Speyside nickname. This bottling matured in an ex-Bourbon cask.
Bottled at its natural cask strength of 57.2%, without dilution, the ex-Bourbon wood gives vanillin for vanilla and oak lactones for coconut, with maltol lending toffee. At 10 years the wood and the salty, nutty spirit are roughly in balance.
