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 2011, and released it at 13 years old in its Cask Strength Collection range. Single cask 105 gave 309 bottles, released for Europe.
Inchgower's four stills carry steeply angled lyne arms that hold back the heavier, oilier vapours, part of why the malt comes out nutty, waxy and faintly saline. This bottling matured in a Marsala wine cask.
Bottled at its natural cask strength of 59.7%, without dilution, the Marsala wood adds caramelised brown sugar and dried fruit, with a faint nutty bitterness. At 13 years the wood and the salty, nutty spirit are roughly in balance.
