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. van Wees selected this single cask, distilled in 2008, and released it at 14 years old in its The Ultimate range. It came from single cask 801493, released for the Netherlands.
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 an ex-Bourbon cask.
Bottled at 46%, the ex-Bourbon barrel adds vanilla from vanillin and a coconut note from oak lactones, over a light cereal sweetness. At 14 years the wood and the salty, nutty spirit are roughly in balance. The recorded notes run to a mossy, earthy note, seasoned oak, a cooked vegetable note, dried fruit, a kippered, smoked note and leather.
