Description
Few Speyside distilleries taste of the sea, but Inchgower, near the Buckie fishing harbour, carries a briny, waxy character into almost everything it makes. Signatory, the long established Edinburgh independent, selected this single cask, distilled in 2012, and released it at 11 years old in its Balder Edda #12 range. Single cask 1 gave 674 bottles.
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 57.3%, without dilution, the Oloroso butt drives fig and date, the spirit's saline edge cutting through the sherry sweetness. At 11 years the wood and the salty, nutty spirit are roughly in balance. The recorded notes run to green, leafy notes, dried hay, leafy notes and a vegetal note.
