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. Hunter Laing, the Glasgow independent formed in the 2013 family split, selected this single cask, distilled in 2008, and released it at 13 years old in its The Old Malt Cask range. Single cask HL 19422 gave 78 bottles, released for Europe.
The distillery's spirit is built for body rather than elegance, nutty and waxy with a coastal salt note unusual for Speyside. This bottling matured in an ex-Bourbon cask.
Bottled at its natural cask strength of 50%, without dilution, the refill ex-Bourbon oak works gently, vanillin reading as vanilla and furfural as a faint toasted almond. At 13 years the wood and the salty, nutty spirit are roughly in balance.
