Description
On the Cromarty side of the Moray Firth, Inchgower distils a coastal, savoury malt that has fed Bell's and other Diageo blends for decades. Gordon & MacPhail, the Elgin merchant and bottler, selected this single cask, distilled in 1998, from the distillery's United Distillers and early Diageo era, and released it at 26 years old in its Connoisseurs Choice - Cask Strength range. Single cask 11274 gave 533 bottles, released for Europe.
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 Oloroso sherry cask.
Bottled at its natural cask strength of 54.8%, without dilution, the Oloroso sherry cask layers raisin and fig from its melanoidins over a drying, nutty oak grip. At 26 years the long maturation has deepened the spirit, the oak adding weight to its savoury core. The recorded notes run to honey.
